Eternal life of the perpetually terminally ill, teen angst, and a superpowered murder all play out in the D.C. punk scene of the 1990s.
A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts #1 is a perfect-bound, double-sized issue that is 58 pages long! Available now on Kickstarter.
Ari Ackerman is a straight-edge teenager in command of absolutely nothing but his extreme awkwardness. He’s obsessed with the D.C. punk/post-hardcore music scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death of his cancer-stricken father. Oh, and he has stumbled upon a murder. Or two murders. He’s not quite sure. He also just saw Fugazi play in a church basement. So it’s not all bad news for him.
Maya Meng is Ari’s best friend, and unfortunately, soon to be his accomplice. She just wants to hang out, get high, and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, a series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day.
Sona Summerhill has just stumbled upon a murder. Or not. She’s not quite sure. What she does know is that she’s obsessed with horror films and one day hopes to make a movie. While messing around with a camcorder, she spots Ari colluding with person of interest and local superhero Gamut. Things are going to be awkward when Ari and Sona see each other at school!
A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is a love letter to D.C. punk/hardcore music, growing up in the DMV area in the 90s, dealing with family loss, and really good “pull at the threads, follow the clues” style murder mysteries. Who doesn’t love a good murder mystery?
