Tiny Ghosts [Perfect Paperback]

Dominic Peloso (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2007

This volume represents the first two years of the photo webcomic, "tiny ghosts." tiny ghosts is about what it feels like to be a monster/ghost/robot/toy/etc. but not the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does even though pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Stuff like that.

About the Author

It's rumored that the author was once employed by the military-industrial complex, and he currently lives down the street from the largest cemetery in the country, either of which could partially explain his predilections toward gallows humor. Despite being very well rounded, he is usually obtuse and is often rather pointed despite not being too sharp. He has probably never been inside a third-world prison, been elected to high public office, or sailed around Antarctica in a homemade boat. He mainly spends his time creating disturbing comics while sitting in a darkened room listening to weird music you probably wouldn't like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny Ghosts Rocks!, November 13, 2007

I love Tiny Ghosts and read it every week. The creator does a great job of telling a story (sometimes deep, sometimes funny, sometimes weird) in only 2 panels.

It's great now having a hard copy I can show to people. The production on the book looks great and there's a bonus section at the end showing behind-the-scenes workings. It's all good stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars tiny ghosts, a photograpic web comic anthology, November 11, 2007

By 

Chris - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tiny Ghosts (Perfect Paperback)

The tiny ghosts anthology is 80 pages, and contains the first 104 comics of the online photo comic, 'tiny ghosts'. each comic in the anthology has been deconstructed. That means that the words have been removed from their original position and printed underneath the photos. This makes it easier to read and also creates the illusion that it is real art and not just a cheesy internet comic strip. In addition, the anthology contains several behind the scenes segments that explain how the comic is created.
