A forlorn, grave-digging skeleton stars in this macabre adventure, originally published in Green's webcomic, Gunshow. Life in the graveyard isn't great for the gravedigger: it's lonely, for one thing, and his father's angry ghost is still hanging around to criticize his work and his habit of talking to his mother's bones, which he keeps in a living-room cabinet. When he wakes to find the bones missing one day, he is certain his father is to blame, so the gravedigger embarks on a journey to hell (with the help of a charming mole) to find them. While this all might sound grim and gory, Green keeps it light with silly jokes, cartoonish figures, and some great slapstick comedy, particularly when the gravedigger inadvertently mucks up just about every situation he steps in. For all its comedy, however, the gravedigger's quest, which is ultimately about reconciliation, is a heartening one. While the madcap antics, mild violence, and grim laughs mark this for older teens, some of the more mature emotional turns might give it some adult appeal as well.

Running the family business in the shadow of your father can be a drag, especially when you're a gravedigger and that shadow is actually your dad's overly critical ghost. From creator KC Green's hugely popular webcomic GUNSHOW, GRAVEYARD QUEST follows a blue-collar skeleton and his mole buddy on their journey to Hell and back to retrieve his most prized possession. It's a story about the things we do for love, and the many mistakes we make along the way.
