Boing Boing Reviews Anya's Ghost

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 6, 2011 - 10:07

Nice write-up by Cory Doctorow of Vera Brosgol's debut graphic novel Anya's Ghost.

[It] starts out as a simple young adult story about a girl who's having a hard time fitting in at school, moves smoothly into a lighthearted story about an awkward girl and her ghostly BFF, and then slides precipitously (and scarily) into a no-fooling ghost story that'll have you jumping out of your skin while you finish it off.

Many of us first discovered Vera from her never-completed Return To Sender but she's worked on many comics and animation projects since then.
