Thank you! I must confess that I am actually a bit proud of that one! ^^ (And also it was a major reason for me to adjust my update schedule in such a way that this page went "on air" exactly on Halloween.)

Nicely done with the shadows on panel one! I mean, seriously amazing!

Thank you very much!
I am really happy with how this panel turned out, including the dramatic shadow. (And the idea of Gustav having no shadow!)

The shadowplay here is really cool!! Good job!

Thank you! It's still one of my best pages, if I may say so. (And I wonder if anyone ever noticed the spider-bat in the upper right corner...)

Still a great page in 2019! :)

Thank you!

I still like this page too, even though now, after three years of art evolution (and hopefully improvement), flaws that I would nowadays try to avoid have become more apparent to me.
(For example, I tend to draw the heads too big, which I nowadays actively try to counteract.)

At least the possession can hold a sword.

In the Cryptida-verse, ghosts can control their degree of "solidness", depending on what they want to do right now. (Walking through walls, holding stuff, et cetera.)
But you'll hear more about that in the 2017 Halloween story! ;-)

Panel 1 is very well done with the ghost not having a shadow!

Thank you very much! That panel has always been one of my favorite ones! (As I in fact already said several times in the comment responses above!)
