About the author
Sina Grace
227 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.

Getting good! Plot is thickening

The plot thickens!

This one has to be one of my favorite issues for the series. I've been wanting to read this for such a long time but things slipped through the cracks. I honestly loved the moral of this story. How people give themselves too much to please others and realize that they don't know who they are. She gives so much to make everyone happy however she realizes that she gave so much that she doesn't know what to do for herself. Honestly, during college, that really shows people who they really are. It's the first time you're on your own and making decisions by yourself. It's a chance for a new start where you can be whoever you want to be. With the amount of freedom, you have you realize you can feel lost because for your entire life teachers and parents have told you what to do. This story really gave a full insight into becoming an adult and making decisions for yourself instead of pleasing others.

More of a 3.5 star rating but I gave it 4 stars because this comic issue was really interesting. I feel like that door in the basement is very very important, along with being very dangerous. I’m a bit cautious going into the next comic issue.

Everything is happening agonisingly slowly, but the artwork is still stunning, so I guess I'll keep reading.

Loved the ritual scene in this one!

We are getting into the thick of things now people!
Only took 7 issues but here we are and Daphne is, not growing on me, but not as annoying as I found her in the earlier issues.

December 19, 2023Might be getting the issues confusado but basically Daphne is trying to figure out her purpose and why she is seeing ghosts and ended up at the ghost house rather than living more IRL
