Five Ghosts: The Haunting Of Fabian Gray #1
Fabian Gray is a treasure hunter/thief that has a major problem – he’s haunted by five ghosts, literally! And not just any ghosts, either. We’re talking about the ghosts of Robin Hood (The Archer), Merlin (The Wizard), Sherlock Holmes (The Detective), Musashi (The Samurai), and Dracula (The Vampire)!
After an incident with an artifact only known as “The Dreamstone”, Gray loses his sister and, at the same time, is possessed by these five ghosts, resulting in his ability to use their abilities in his adventures and thievery.
Image Comics describes the new series like this:
“The story of Fabian Gray, a treasure hunter (some say thief) possessed by five ghosts, each an archetypical literary character, who imbue him with their unique talents and skills. The Wizard gives Gray the ability to wield magic. The Archer gives him lightning-quick reflexes and deadly accuracy. The Detective lends powers of intuition and deduction. From The Samurai, Gray borrows discipline and self-mastery – as well as mastery of a razor-sharp katana. The Vampire’s subtlety, allure, and deadliness are the most dangerous powers of all for Gray to wield – both to his enemies and himself. Gray will need the powers of all his ghosts to save the woman who was lost in the same incident that resulted in his possession – his twin sister Silvia, whose absence haunts him even more than the five spirits. But he’s finding it harder to control them, so he must hurry – before Fabian Gray is subsumed by the personalities of the FIVE GHOSTS.”
This new five issue Image Comic series, written by Frank J. Barbiere with art by Chris Mooneyham, will hit stores March 20th and the first issue is oversized at 40 pages!
