Ghost’s Sister Imperator Joins Dark Horse Comics

Ghost and Dark Horse Comics Conjure ‘Sister Imperator’

The worlds of rock and comics are colliding with an electric jolt. Dark Horse Comics and Swedish band Ghost are teaming up. Together, they’re bringing you "Sister Imperator," a captivating four-issue series. This brainchild of Ghost’s frontman Tobias Forge is set for release on March 5, 2025.

A Dark and Glorious Origin

The series delves into the mysterious past of Sister Imperator. Once a simple figure in small-town New England, her rise to power is nothing short of brutal. In Ghost’s lore, she’s part of a Satanic clergy, adored and feared by many. This comic will finally unravel the tale of her violent path of vindication.

Corinna Bechko, known for her work on Avatar: Adapt or Die, is the writer. She teamed up with artist Puste, vibrant colorist Thiago Rocha, and expert letterer Jimmy Betancourt. Bechko feels a deep connection to the project. She’s enamored with the complex history of Sister Imperator. “Her story transcends expectations, rich and tragic beyond belief,” shared Bechko. She’s worked with powerful characters before but finds this one uniquely compelling. For her, it was an honor weaving such a brutal yet intricate tale.

Puste’s Enthralling Vision

Artist Puste states, “Illustrating Sister Imperator’s saga is both challenging and rewarding.” He found the character’s depth and terror fascinating. As Puste embraces Tobias’s vision, he hopes fans resonate with his work. “Dark Horse and Ghost provided immense support,” he noted. This collaboration promises a dark and atmospheric journey for readers.

Ghost’s reputation precedes them, with their anonymous band members known as Nameless Ghouls. Since their inception in 2006, they’ve sparked controversy with their Satanic imagery. Despite this, their fanbase has grown steadily, particularly in the U.S. Over the years, they’ve snagged prestigious awards, like the American Music Award for Favorite Rock Album. Their recent concert film set a new standard, smashing box office records.

Coinciding with the comic release, the band embarks on a world arena tour next April. Kicking off in the UK, fans should expect nothing short of spectacular.
