Oscar Zahn is just like any other 
paranormal investigator—he’s working hard to make the world a better place, one exorcism at a time. So what if he’s just a floating skull wearing a trench coat? He’s still got a heart of gold!
Adapted from the acclaimed Webtoon series by artist and writer Tri Vuong, The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn: Volume One (Ten Speed Graphic; on sale September 10th, 2024) introduces readers to Oscar and his mysterious assistant Agnes as they embark on a frightening yet heartwarming journey across ethereal realms, rescuing lost souls and solving creepy mysteries. Yet the more mysteries Oscar solves, the clearer it becomes that there’s a greater game afoot, one that involves his own forgotten origin story.
Beautifully illustrated and featuring extended artwork and an expanded storyline, Tri Vuong’s creepy yet tender paranormal mystery series is perfect for fans of eldritch horror and classic detective whodunits.
