For those who’d like something different from the mainstream comics like “The Avengers” or “Justice League,” there are many in- dependent comics that are hidden treasures. “Anya’s Ghost” by Vera Brosgol is a story of a teenage girl who tries to get through life filled with drama and angst. Her life takes a turn when she meets a new friend and must figure out whether she could be trusted before it’s too late.

Brosgol’s art style is different from those found in Marvel or DC comics, definitely offering a refreshing break as she works as a cartoonist and has a talent in comics. Her writing and plot twists are sure page turners for anyone interested.

Though “Anya’s Ghost” is Brosgol’s first book, her other published comic stories are in Image Comics’ anthology series “Flight.” Brosgol also worked on the storyboard of Henry Selick’s “Coraline.” You can find “Anya’s Ghost” at your local comic shop or online
