I’ve been making comics for fifteen years and I am thrilled to say that I just signed my first book deal.

Oni Press will release A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts as a 175-page graphic novel.

I'm really excited about the comics I've gotten to edit so far in my freelancing this year and am really eager to work on more projects earlier in their lifespan in 2026.

If you are thinking of self-publishing in 2026 and beyond please consider hitting me up at an earlier stage.

@davidbooher.bsky.social and I have an exciting new comic live on Kickstarter!

He's hot. He's clever. Good news, fellas. He's very gay. None of that's nearly as interesting as the fact that Moe Malloch is also the son of the devil.

Literally. Satan's his dad.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

It's FOC for our little sci-fi/spy/action/family dramedy. Mr. Millar thinks you should tell your local comic shop to order you a copy now.
