December 26, 2013 - Los Angeles, CA - Award-winning publisher Archaia Entertainment, an imprint of BOOM! Studios, is thrilled to announce AN AURORA GRIMEON STORY: WILL O’ THE WISP,
an original graphic novel debuting in January. From the creative team
of writer Tom Hammock and artist Megan Hutchison (who both work as film

and murder, and featuring a beautiful package design that includes a
diary-like clasp.
“We’re
very happy to debut Archaia’s 2014 line of original graphic novels with
WILL O’ THE WISP,’ said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Tom
and Megan have created an engaging, supernatural tale complete with a
smart protagonist, a spooky setting, and even a pet raccoon named Missy!
Combined with Archaia’s high production values, we’re very proud to
start the new year with such a beautiful title.”
After
her parents’ accidental death by mushroom poisoning, young Aurora
Grimeon is sent to live with her estranged grandfather on Ossuary Isle, a
fog-covered island of graves set deep in the southern swamps. There she
will meet the sinister residents who care for the tombstones and
mausoleums, living out their lives by the strange rules of Hoodoo magic.
When ghostly things start happening out in the swamp and island
residents start disappearing, Aurora thrusts herself into the middle of
the mystery, uncovering secrets that might be better left buried!
