The New Ghost (Nobrow 17x23)

For what this is, it's gorgeous. The art drew me in from the initial purchase, and it carried me through the 24 pages the story inhabits. (Nobrow Press should be extremely happy with the quality of work, and product, they're producing.) Really, though, if the art doesn't get you, then I don't think this will be for you. The story works well enough in carrying us through a mini-arc in these few pages, but it didn't resonate with me as others have. Honestly, though, that's not a bad thing. For me, half of a comic is simply being drawn in and absorbed by the way the graphic story is told, and the artwork and page design / layout in THE NEW GHOST is nothing short of fantastic. I love the colors and parallelism and the tone they create. In short, if you think the cover is gorgeous, you should probably spend the dollars to buy the whole book.

This is a very small comic, only 24 pages, but I think it's totally worth it. It is a rather simple story to understand (depending on perspective), but it is so well made, and relies more on the images rather than the words. It's meant to be appreciated for what you see, rather than what you read. I don't think people will get lost while reading this, and it doesn't treat you like a child. Truly beautiful.

The volume is super-slim, Read it in 15 minutes, then contemplated on its exquisite beauty for the whole day.

This little zine has such a lovely quiet little story, kind of like a bedtime story for adults. The narrative is well structured and works great with the panelling, and the artwork is wonderfully textural in a style I’ve come to know and love from Nobrow. If you’re into action-packed stuff this may not be for you, but this story realy touched me and reminded me of why I love illustration and independent press.

This is a quick read but an amazing one nonetheless. The illustration is breathtaking and the story is sweet and emotional. I love this format of visual storytelling!

The story is short and thoughtful. The art is AMAZING. Proudly displaying this treasure on my bookshelf for a long time.

I loved it, the illustrations are really beautiful, I loved the art style, the story is also beautiful.

I decided to purchase because of another short I read called "Fish" that was published by Nobrow's 17x23. The artwork in this is absolutely beautiful but the writing leaves much to be desired. I found it flat and mechanical, it didn't really add that much to the story. I honestly wonder if the artist could have foregone most of the text with more captivating drawings. For example, instead of saying, "I was helped to my feet and invited inside to rest" or "As we walked I searched the sky in the hope of spotting the group again," show the ghost doing just that. At the least, some dialogue would've been desired but I'm sure there were constraints/guidelines that I as the reader am unaware of.

Tutto arrivato in tempi brevi. Il libro è perfetto. Sono contenta e soddisfatta. Sicuramente comprerò ancora. Spero di essere stata utile.

Aunque su portada refleje una estética un poco infantil, no se dejen llevar por este factor. La historia de su interior és fantástica, pero breve. Sus ilustraciones són maravillosas. Un regalo perfecto para los amantes de los cómics que se alejand e los estádares comerciales.

Nice story if you're into wtf endings 😂

This book/zine is fantastic. Yes it is small but that's not the reason you're buying it. You're buying it for the quality of the story and illustrations. The level of detail in the printing process is amazing. The colours are so vivid and and so rich, they almost feel 'solid'. At first I was dubious about being paperback, without a spine they don't stand very well, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The paperback-ness of it kind of makes it. It feels 'hot of the press', instant, like you've received a special exhibition edition. I've only just discovered Nobrow, but I'm so happy I found them, thank god theres some great people out there making amazing work without charging the earth for it. Can't fault this issue, oh and the smell! the paper smell gets 5 stars on its own.

A very charming story. And beautiful illustrations. Highly recommended! A very charming story. And beautiful illustrations. Highly recommended! A very charming story. And beautiful illustrations. Highly recommended!
