Ghost

In this five-issue Dark Horse series from 2012–2013, writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Phil Noto reimagine the classic pulp heroine Ghost as a modern-day supernatural detective navigating the shadowy underbelly of Chicago. The story follows a mysterious, flame-haired spirit who battles occult threats while grappling with her own fragmented memories and identity. DeConnick’s sharp, character-driven writing and Noto’s lush, cinematic art breathe fresh life into the character, making this a standout, moody noir-fantasy that explores themes of memory, justice, and the cost of power.
