“There was this stretch of time where certain comics and readers were wired into the sex, drugs, and rock & roll paradigm,” says GHOST Agents Writer/Producer Rocko Jerome. “This book is intended to recapture that energy that some comics had in the mid-sixties and throughout the seventies. There was an element of danger there that I want to tap into: the vibe of Heavy Metal, Steranko, Spain Rodriguez, Guy Peellaert… and the headier, more whacked-out kinds of Marvel Comics that ended up getting sold in headshops. As much as I’m sure it would have rattled Ditko, I have it on good authority that some people bought Strange Tales at the same places they bought their rolling papers. That’s the space that I want this book to occupy.”
An anthology series made up of short, punchy, self contained pieces, GHOST Agents is a book where every story exists in the same world, and characters and plot lines reoccur through the centuries-spanning narrative. If you read it all, a rich overarching storyline will emerge, but you aren’t in the least bit required to do that. The stories all stand alone just fine.
Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis is not just an Art Deco icon. It stands among the most impactful works ever made. From Superman to Star Wars, the achievement of Metropolis has proven endlessly influential. It’s even finding a sort of eerie prescience today, as “artificial intelligence” poses an existential threat to our world as we know it.
Metropolis entered the public domain in 2023. We were ready.
The other side of this treasury-sized book is loaded with pulse-pounding GHOST Agents action as Donna Printiss, Li, and a few new agents take on the freak-out invasion of creatures from the Netherworld.
Theresa is called “T” by her nearest and dearest, so it makes sense she models the GHOST Agents tee. As you can see, it looks great with anything. Or nothing. It’s all up to you.

“We’re a rock and roll band,” says Bellfuries leader Joey Simeone. “People are obsessed with categories, sub-genres. We check into a hotel, and the guy or girl behind the desk asks what kind of music we play. ‘Rock and roll.’ Then they ask what I mean by that. Well… Let’s see. There’s elements of country music, rhythm and blues. There’s some improvisation on stage that I guess you could say is jazz-inspired. Throw in some gospel…plenty of melodies coming out of older pop tunes. That adds up to rock and roll, last time I checked. If we’re not re-inventing the wheel, I’d rather get to work than worry about renaming it.”

Across time and space, the clandestine organization called G.H.O.S.T. (Global Hierarchy Of Secret Tactics) sends its agents to combat threats with bad intentions- lycanthropic drug addicts, demons from the netherworld tearing into the space/time continuum, and the nihilistic, fashion obsessed terrorists collectively known as APOCALYPTICO.
