Chloe is a young woman whose behaviour has seen her fired from a string of jobs. On the brink of losing her home, her sister informs her that they’ve inherited an old house from an uncle they barely knew. Discovering the house full of junk, they list everything they can for sale online, attracting the attention of a very shady character. And they soon discover that there’s more to certain items than meets the eye…

GhostBox gets off to a cracking start in this first issue, which brilliantly sets up Chloe’s status quo, and the big disruption that changes her life irreversibly by the final page.

It’s riveting, very well written and the art, for the most part, is great too. There’s a few panels where heads look awkwardly attached to bodies (signs of heavy photo referencing, it seems), but it’s minimal, and there’s a very realistic feel to proceedings despite the supernatural areas it wanders into at the climax.

Excellent stuff then, and a pleasant surprise. I knew nothing at all about the series before reading this first issue, and now I’m definitely locked in for issue 2!
