Ghost is the first book in an original graphic/illustrated novel series. Dark and mythic, its story takes place in the here and now surrounding the Great War for Heaven by the Angels, and centers around a young woman who, haunted by Angels her whole life, discovers that she is herself the last Angelic protector of Earth in this Great War. First, the dark Angels must defeat the Ghosts, humans who were blessed by Angels of Glory, Celestial Guardians of the world who held fast to the Creator's purpose even as they sacrificed their existence to train their human soldiers in the Great War.

‘Hippy Jonny and the Banality of Life’ is about Jonny, a free spirit who doesn’t get put down easily. He’s not happy with the status quo of rat race life, and ends up getting fired in the very first page of the book. With the help of his long-time friends Ezekiel and Ray, Jonny copes with the harshness of being unemployed and signing onto Job Seekers. But Jonny isn’t ‘seeking’ a job that would mean a return to the blank, misery of 9 – 5 life. He wants an escape from the banality of the limited options available to him. Then he meets the enigmatic Nelly B and her arty flatmate Zack. It is through their encouragement that Jonny learns how to build an independent life in post credit-crunch Britain.

About the author:
Portsmouth based graphic novelist, Ryan Dodd, is 21 years old. A self- taught artist, Ryan was always drawing under his desk at his job with Her Majesty’s Tax Inspectors. After enduring this for two long years, Ryan was encouraged by his friends to quit the 9 – 5 existence and dedicate his life to creating alternative Graphic Novels. His influences include, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Daniel Clowes, Joe Matt and Peter Bagge. But Ryan has also found inspiration in the novels of Phillip K Dick and Charles Bukowski. When Ryan is not making comics he enjoys all the usual stuff people his age do, like playing video games, going to the pub and sticking it to the man.
