Michael Walsh (Black Hammer/Justice League) presents a classic Irish myth through a new lens as a young boy stumbles across a banshee in the woods. Legend says that if she sees you, you will be marked for death, but if you can capture her, you will receive a wish. The young boy is about to learn to be careful what you wish for.
JIM HENSON'S THE STORYTELLER: GHOSTS #3 is a tight mix of campfire ghost story and Irish folklore. The writing is gloomy in all the right ways, the art is creepy, and the monkey's paw twist lands a punch. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
I enjoyed my time with Jim Henson's Storyteller: Ghosts #3. It makes me want to pick up the other two issues and awaiting the 4th and final one as well. It also has me wanting to pick up the other books and maybe even checking out the show. I guess the only minor complaint is that it does feel very short. I feel it may service the series better when all four short stories in the anthology are collected. But this short story, in particular, reminds me of things like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and such great haunting collections from my childhood. So, if you are looking for something in that vein then check out Jim Henson's Storyteller: Ghosts #3. Read Full Review
The story and the art come together to tell a satisfactory tale. Another great addition to The Storyteller anthology, the nature of the tales meaning the reader can dip in and out of the stories as they choose. Having each tale written and drawn by the same person has been a nice touch. This story, and anthology series as a whole, will appeal to fans of ghost stories, especially as the stories are never typical and manage to evoke a chill down the readers spine. Read Full Review
