There, he discovers a haunted tree and the departed souls that are drawn to it \u2013 including his grandfather. Brandt attempts to heal some of history&#8217;s wounds, but will he be able to find any measure of peace for himself when someone special from his past returns?<\/p>\n<p>Writer Bobby Curnow says, \u201cA lot of our headspace is trapped in the past: things from childhood, old relationships, how family upbringing made us into who we are today. This creates an opportunity to reflect and learn, but also a chance to become fixated on that past, unable to move forward.\u00a0<em>Ghost Tree<\/em>\u00a0is an opportunity to explore the conflict between past and present\u2026 and see some cool and creepy ghosts!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always hoped to work with Bobby again, but when I first read this script I knew I absolutely had to,\u201d says artist Simon Gane. \u201cNot only was it a beautifully written story that I felt a real connection with, but there were a terrific variety of characters to bring to life \u2013 the elderly couple, the lead as both an adult and a child, and (of course) a few ghosts, monsters, and headless samurai thrown in for good measure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colorist Ian Herring says, \u201cLooking to capture the sound of walking in the woods with color,\u00a0I jumped at the chance to collaborate with Bobby and Simon on this surreal story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For information on how to secure copies
