Time to start following Frank Barbiere, @atlasincognita, on Twitter. Today he released news that Black Mask Studios is launching a Youtube channel with motion comics, which will include Five Ghosts, but there is more.
Be sure to check out the Five Ghosts and other @blackmaskstudio tubecomics, and come back here for a big announcement tomorrow!

Here is the first “issue” of the Black Mask Motion comic for Five Ghosts:
He also mentioned there would be big news tomorrow. Hopefully this is casting news, or a release date for the upcoming Sy-fy adaptation of the book Five Ghosts (still one of my favorite books.)
Copies of Five Ghosts #1 can still be found and found cheap on eBay. Nothing really over $17. Most in the $10 range.
Here is the print run that we did back on 7/24/14
Five Ghosts #1 – 13,163
Five Ghosts #2 – 13,127
Five Ghosts #3 – 13,153
Five Ghosts #4 – 11,357
Five Ghosts #5 – 10,409
Five Ghosts #6 – 9,399
Five Ghosts #7 – 8,417
Five Ghosts #8 – 6,890
Five Ghosts #9 – 6,348
Five Ghosts #10 – 5,881
Five Ghosts #11 – 5,735
Five Ghosts #12 – 6,444
Five Ghosts #1 Second Print does not show on the list. This usually signifies the book had a print run of around 5,000 copies
Five Ghosts #2 Second Print does not show on the list. This usually signifies the book had a print run of around 5,000 copies
The second prints are also variants, not the same cover as the first which is also a plus.
When you mentioned Five Ghosts a while back I went to a shop here in town and found to #1’s for cover. Glad I took the advice and kept them!
I love Five Ghosts, probably one of my favorite ongoing titles currently!
Mine too. Love the 70’s feel to the art.
Yeah, everything about Five Ghosts is awesome. Art, story.. how it’s printed. I even dig the paper they use.
