Ghost Island

In Ghost Island (Afterlight Comics, 2017–2021), a four-issue miniseries, a mysterious island off the coast of Maine becomes the stage for a haunting tale of memory, loss, and supernatural secrets. The series, written by Justin Jordan and illustrated by Caspar Wijngaard, follows a woman who returns to her childhood home only to find the island's eerie inhabitants and forgotten past resurfacing. With atmospheric, painterly art and a slow-burn mystery, this compact story explores how places hold onto the dead—and the living who can't let go. It stands as a quietly affecting, self-contained horror-fantasy from the indie scene.
