Ghosted in L.A. #9
The ghosts of Rycroft Manor must come face to face with their own mortality… so to speak. With Shirley ready to move to the Great Beyond, the other ghosts are reeling from the emotional fallout. And Daphne has to decide whether she is ready to move on herself, in a slightly less permanent way.

About the author
Sina Grace
223 books145 followersSina Grace’s parents had big plans for their son: Ivy League schooling, professional credentials, a 6-figure income as a doctor– the works! Fortunately for us, he found the wonderful world of comics instead. It was in this world of contradictions that he “matured,” one foot teetering on the edge of academia, the other drawn to the inescapable grasp of an ink-bound fantasy underworld.
At 14, Grace seemingly appeased his parents by interning at Top Cow Productions, under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Renae Geerlings (his single mother figured at least he was collecting college credit). However the only thing he was collecting (other than comics), was the compulsive habit of drawing unrealistically proportioned, scantily clad women.
At 16, he got a perpetual summer-time job at the Santa Monica landmark: Hi De Ho Comics, where he would be inspired to create Books with Pictures. By 17 he wrote, drew, and self-published his first comic, The Roller-Derby Robo-Dykes versus the Cannibals. His knowledge of disproportionate harlots with weapons came in handy when depicting a story about Robo-Dykes bent on taking over the world. His mother was happy that he was taking interest in girls. The book went into a second printing, and received the praise of Lying in the Gutters critic, Rich Johnston.
Weeks after graduating high school, he was asked by Rilo Kiley front-woman Jenny Lewis to illustrate a limited edition comic book adaptation of their 2004 record, More Adventurous. In the spring of 2006 he was asked to apprentice under comics genius, Howard Chaykin (even though it may not be apparent in Books with Pictures, Grace did learn the function of a ruler and the meaning of a vanishing point).
Between the summers of 2005 and 06, Grace’s partially-biographical indie dramedy, Books with Pictures, went from hand-xeroxed zines to full-fledged, full-sized comic books. Shortly after its debut at San Diego Comic-Con, Diamond Distributors accepted the series into their ordering catalogue, Previews. Grace’s work on the series was met with admiration from bloggers and reviewers alike, and has since taken on several projects for multiple anthologies due in late 2008.
To his parents’ delight, he graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, receiving an undergraduate degree in Literature, with an emphasis on Creative Writing.
Sina Grace recently self-published an illustrated novel about a sorcerer sleuth in Orange County, aptly named Cedric Hollows in Dial M for Magic, his next project will be providing illustrations for Amber Benson’s novel, Among the Ghosts, through Aladdin Books.

"Ghosted in L.A. has been a series unafraid to delve into the unexpectedly human lives of ghosts, all while building up the intrigue that comes with personal and specter-ly drama. Ghosted in L.A. #9 is no exception. Though it is an issue full of shocking twists and revelations.
While Daphne has really made herself at home in this house infested with ghosts, it’s safe to say that there’s still plenty going on behind the scenes. Every ghost has a past, and that is a fact that becomes clearer with each passing issue.
There’s also the living to be concerned about, as well as several unknowns. All of that is more than enough to keep fans coming back for more. I know that is the case for myself, at any rate."

This issue had so many twists and turns that I can't help but be interested in it but one thing that stands out is Shirley!
Her decision to move on, as it were, is a big step and makes me wonder about the rest of the ghosts and what each one is thinking at this revelation and what that could possibly mean for each one of them and their ghost family.
That in turn means that Daphne has some things to think about too as she's just as invested in their afterlives as they're invested in her life.

Ghosts are real. Ghosts are here. But they're not meant to be. They've got to go...
Shocking twists! Revelations! I'm here for the Crimson Peak themed dance, the Christian ghost killer and the magically opened door.

What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened.

Wait, there was "someone" trapped behind the door!?! Dammit I need the next issue. Also I think a Crimson Peak themed dance is a little too specific for people to embrace...
