JIM HENSON’S THE STORYTELLER: GHOSTS Coming to Boom!

December 2, 2019 Off By Michael Stagno

An all-new four-issue limited series based on the award-winning television show, Jim Henson‘s The Storyteller, about the perils of getting caught up in the affairs of a ghost, by cartoonist Márk László, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Ghosts.

The story is of Scandinavian folklore about a vengeful ghost known as the ‘Myling’. A man traveling at night comes across a haunting cry from within the forest. He enters to find a spirit who demands to be carried to a proper burial site. The man agrees to comply, but as they travel, the spirit’s grip tightens as it grows in size. The man starts to move slower as he tries to unburden himself of the terrifying weight before it brings him down.

“Ghosts can shock and terrify us, but they also can reveal something profound about loss, grief and the value of life,” said editor Matthew Levine. “Storyteller: Ghosts aims higher than just what goes bump in the night. This diverse collection of supernatural folklore will present plenty of scares, but you might be surprised by how touching these tales can be.”

Jim Henson’s Storyteller: Ghosts #1 (of 4) arrives on Wednesday, March 11, 2020.
