Issue #3 – Page 15: Marley’s Ghost’s tale of woe
Marley’s Ghost’s tale of woe is revealed this week! I always wondered what happened to poor old Marley at the end of ‘The Christmas Carol’ so I decided to make this story about it. I figured after helping Scrooge he had to move on and try to help others until his heavy burden of chains was no more. I’m really glad to have old Marley as a part of my comic, I hope you like him too!
Coming up with a look for Marley was fairly simple, since he’s been depicted by so many artists over the years. I wanted to include his chains and keep them constantly in motion. They’re kind of like Doc Ock’s mechanical arms! I made sure to give him my ghost ‘treatment’ with his green hue and his legless form. You’ll be seeing more kinds of ghosts as we go, the town’s name is ‘Ghostport’ after all!
I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgivings, I’m very thankful for all your support!

Gosh, a ghostless ghost. That will make his job difficult. He may just have to say Bah Humbug & go holiday in the Bahamas
HA! Yeah he’s one sad spook, thanks Tony!
