A Gift for a Ghost by Borja González6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I did not pick up the book just from reading that except, instead learning elsewhere a little more about it, past the banal sounding ad copy that makes the story sound much more direct than it is.

I first heard about Borja Gonzalez's A Gift for a Ghost from an excerpt published right here at The Comics Journal. Too often comics are so cliched and dull and I take a chance on them and then wonder why I even bothered.īut sometimes marketing works… sort of. It is a too infrequent pleasure to pick up a book by an artist I am unfamiliar with and be delighted by it. ![]()
