Four ghost-story comic ideas.Take one. Make it yours.

A ghost story is a slow one, and a comic can hold a silence for a whole panel. Each of these has a place the dead keep coming back to — a hotel, a tour route, a village under the water — so the cast can return to it issue after issue.

Press start on any of them and it lands in the premise box of a new comic, where every word is yours to change. Then you pick a look, meet the cast, and Panel & Ink writes and draws the first issue.
