A story told in two parts, it is up to the reader to determine where they’d like to begin this eerie journey. Based on a true story that Yeong-shin Ma felt compelled to help share, together these two parts are Hodo—the story of a painter, whose hard and dark past is brought to life with sensitivity and authenticity. Lake—Hodo is haunted—by her mother and step-mother, her classmates, a neighbor, and yes, literal ghosts. She is also five years old. Through masterful cartooning, we see a child’s despair in the face of pervasive violence, and her confusion as to why bad things keep happening to her. We see the edges of her depression begin to appear. Island—Hodo is haunted—by her past, a friend’s suicide, her sister’s heartbreaking yet unsurprising betrayal, and yes, literal ghosts, still. Through masterful cartooning, we see a woman reckoning with her past and the shadow it has cast on her adulthood. But we also see her develop her artistic practice and witness her determination to find herself through her paintbrush. Because despite the incredible pain, Hodo is a story of light in the dark—a story of hope. From the author of critically acclaimed Moms, Hodo is translated by award-winning Janet Hong.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For an updated release schedule, please reference \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prhcomics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.prhcomics.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eNote:  Release dates may change. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ae1f23;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover art on Pre-Order is not final \u0026amp; is subject to change.
