Ethan Sacks and his daughter Naomi Sacks are teaming with artist Marco Lorenzana for A Haunted Girl, a new YA graphic novel that explores real-world mental health struggles at Image Comics.
In A Haunted Girl, readers meet Cleo, a 16-year-old adopted Japanese-American whose anxiety and depression drives her to suicidal thoughts, is fresh out of the hospital and trying unsuccessfully to reintegrate back into her old life. What she doesn’t know is that her real struggles are just beginning as she finds herself encountering an increasingly terrifying succession of ghosts. Is she losing her grip on reality… or is the explanation much, much worse? A Haunted Girl channels terrors—both otherworldly and real-life—that come with anxiety and depression.
A Haunted Girl arrives on May 22, 2024.
