I’ve been making comics for fifteen years and I am thrilled to say that I just signed my first book deal.

Oni Press will release A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts as a 175-page graphic novel.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

It's FOC for our little sci-fi/spy/action/family dramedy. Mr. Millar thinks you should tell your local comic shop to order you a copy now.
