“Tenemos mucha suerte de que los mejores coloristas y rotuladores que trabajan hoy en día se hayan unido a Ghost Machine. Brad y Rob aportan un talento excepcional y una gran experiencia a nuestro equipo y su pasión por lo visual salta absolutamente de la página en cada paso. Desde el inicio de la compañía, la brillantez individual de Brad y Rob ha sido invaluable para todo lo que hacemos, por lo que estamos encantados de convertirlos oficialmente en 100% Ghosts”, dijeron los creadores en un comunicado conjunto. “Con demasiada frecuencia, en este negocio se pasa por alto a los coloristas y las letras y no se les dan las mismas consideraciones de equidad que a otros creadores, a pesar de que son vitales para la calidad, coherencia y longevidad de los títulos y personajes de los que forman parte. Estamos orgullosos de seguir abriendo nuevos caminos como creadores y propietarios en este negocio que amamos pero que necesita evolucionar”.

“Es difícil expresar con palabras lo que significa para mí ser parte de un grupo como este. He admirado y inspirado a estos creadores durante años, y ser socios en Ghost Machine de profesionales y magos emprendedores así, a quienes llamo amigos, es increíblemente especial”. dijo BradAnderson. “Valoro la confianza que depositan en mí y en mi trabajo, y ser reconocido por gigantes de la industria significa más de lo que puedo decir. Estoy muy emocionado, no sólo por nosotros, sino también por que los fans vean y se enamoren de los personajes y las historias que Ghost Machine está creando”.
Rob Leigh añadió: “Soy muy afortunado de disfrutar de una larga carrera en el cómic: un sueño de infancia hecho realidad. Y si bien he logrado muchos objetivos, lo que me faltaba era la capacidad de trazar mi propio rumbo y tener un interés significativo en el trabajo creado. Cuando Geoff se puso en contacto conmigo para describirme su visión de una empresa en la que todas las propiedades sean propiedad de los talentos y estén controladas por ellos (creadores no sólo en la cúspide del campo, sino a quienes admiro y respeto a nivel personal), no pude abordar la MÁQUINA FANTASMA. ¡Envíe lo suficientemente rápido!

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 8, 2024) – Ghost Machine announced today that colorist Brad Anderson and letterer Rob Leigh have officially joined the ranks of its exclusive creator roster.

Anderson and Leigh have joined fellow Ghost Machine co-owners and co-creators Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Geoff Johns, Lamont Magee, Francis Manapul, Brad Meltzer, Ivan Reis, Peter Snejbjerg, Peter J. Tomasi, and Maytal Zchut, who are all fully exclusive to Ghost Machine for their comic book work once projects already committed to have been completed.
“We are so lucky that the very best colorist and letterer working today have joined Ghost Machine. Brad and Rob bring exceptional talent and a wealth of experience to our team and their passion for the visual absolutely jumps off the page at each turn. Since the inception of the company Brad and Rob’s individual brilliance has been invaluable to everything we do, so we are thrilled to now officially make them 100% Ghosts,” said the creators in a joint statement. “Too often colorists and letters are overlooked in this business and not given the same equity considerations as other creators despite them being vital to the quality, consistency and longevity of the titles and characters they are a part of manifesting. We’re proud to continue to make new ground as creators and owners in this business we love but that needs to evolve.”
“It’s hard to put into words what it means to me to be a part of a group such as this. I’ve looked up to and have been inspired by these creators for years, and to be partners in Ghost Machine with such professionals and entrepreneurial wizards, who I call friends, is incredibly special.” said Brad Anderson. “I value the trust they put into me and my work, and to be recognized by such giants in the industry means more than I can say.

Rob Leigh added: “I am extremely fortunate to be enjoying a long career in comics—a childhood dream come true. And while I’ve achieved many goals, what had been missing was the ability to plot my own course and to have a meaningful stake in the work created. When Geoff contacted me describing his vision of a company where all properties are owned and controlled by the talent—creators not only at the apex of the field, but who I admire and respect on a personal level—I couldn’t board the GHOST MACHINE ship fast enough!”
Anderson and Leigh’s quality was on full display in Ghost Machine’s recent triple sell-out of its debut issues Geiger #1, Redcoat #1 and Rook: Exodus #1. Image Comics, which publishes all Ghost Machine titles, rushed all three first issues back to print, with second issues following this May.

But in order to obtain the information they need, Geiger’s crew must first help a local sheriff catch and kill a masked raider that's pillaging the town. But what Geiger ultimately discovers chills him to his glowing green bones. And The Electrician isn’t far behind… Geiger #2 from Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Brad Anderson and Rob Leigh will be in stores May 8.
Redcoat #2 picks up with Simon Pure hunted by a bloodthirsty cult. The immortal mercenary discovers his powers may have its limits and the former British soldier must accept help from a 12-year-old genius named Albert Einstein. Redcoat #2 from Geoff Johns, Bryan Hitch, Brad Anderson and Rob Leigh, publishes May 15.
Rook: Exodus #2 introduces new allies and threats. With the imported animal population growing out of control and the world’s engine failing, the warden known only as Rook must now also face the power-hungry bear master Ursaw, who won’t rest until all of Exodus’ wardens are dead. As Dire Wolf also hunts down Rook, only one question remains about the wolves’ pack leader…is she friend or foe? Rook: Exodus #2 from Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok, Brad Anderson and Rob Leigh, goes on sale May 22.
