    Amazing art, reminds me of Gray Morrow or Al Williamson. Who is this Jean Elier, anyway? I can't find any information on him. Was it a pen name for another artist?

    Love the art, seems hard to find much other work by Jean Elier, like Ian I'm wondering if it is a pen name. The lingo on the groovy witch is great, like her look too, not a character was familiar with, but then I never read Ghostly Haunts.

    Very photo-referenced, and a lot like Williamson. Perhaps he was ghosting, eh?

    I don't really get the ending?

    Interesting that Elier, whoever he or she is, signed his/her name not once, not twice, but three times in this 9-page story, perhaps sensing that it might be the last time he/she would get the chance.
