A Ghost Arm Made Of Angry Ghosts by writer Oliver Mertz and artist Alex Diotto is coming from Oni Press, and we’ve got a look inside the original graphic novel here.
In the book, per PR from Oni, “Ari Ackerman just witnessed a murder. Or two. Or maybe he didn’t. He’s not quite sure…” What does that all mean? Well, you’ll have to read to find out.
“I grew up in the ‘90s, going to see bands like Fugazi, Jawbox, and the Monorchid play in cramped venues scattered around the Washington D.C. area,” said Mertz via press release. “When I started writing A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS, I knew I wanted it to be a love letter to that time and place. But as I kept writing, the book got weirder and weirder. And ironically, the stranger it got, the more personal and emotionally honest the story became.”
Added Diotto, “Since Oliver introduced me to the characters of A GHOST ARM, I immediately felt a strong connection to them. I found many similarities between Ari, Maya, Sona and myself—namely being an outcast and a long time fan of punk bands—and that connection grew even stronger as we progressed working on the book and the book got even weirder. It’s not an everyday thing seeing a bowl of soup talking through its mouth, or a giant head residing in a cabin!”

A Ghost Arm Made Of Angry Ghosts Official Synopsis:
Teenager Ari Ackerman loves the Washington, D.C. punk scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death (and frequent resurrections) of his cancer-stricken father. Ari’s best friend, Maya Meng, just wants to hang out and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, an escalating series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day… Charmingly whimsical, darkly funny, and stylistically innovative, A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS is sure to evoke all the feelings that come with being an outsider, making sense of the world around you, and finding your place in it.
