What makes you “you?”

In the world of Elysium City, the answer to that question can grant you magical abilities. Specs are powers rooted in your very being, and for one Nathan Vargas, that means having the ability to see and speak to ghosts.

That used to matter to him, before he retired from paranormal investigation.

But when the spirits of Elysium start going missing, Nathan must take up the helm as Elysium’s ferryman once more to rescue the ones that are most forgotten.

As Nathan journeys through the remnants of a life he’s long left behind him, he’s forced to ask himself: What parts of himself did he leave behind with it?

About the Author

Howdy, I’m Jox Pines! (He/Him). I’m a freelance comic artist and sad boys enthusiast. I’ve been running Ferrymen since early 2022, but have experience in comics as far back as 2016! My favorite things are spooky paranormal stuff, Dungeons and Dragons podcasts, and have I mentioned that I LOVE it when fictional men are extremely sad and broken up inside but eventually learn to love and be loved? I feel like that’s very important to mention.

Special Thanks!
