"This is not my tale. But it is a tale for me to tell."

Eight years ago, I posted about a new supernatural webcomic called The Strange Cases of Oscar Zahn. The name changed slightly, but the comic continued to 2019. Oscar is the world's greatest paranormal researcher, and an inventor of devices that can detect and affect the spirit world. Oscar is also a talking skull floating above a body. All of them can still be read on the Webtoons website! And now, in print is Volume One of The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn.
During its run, creator Tri Vuong told four of Oscar's tales:
Lost and Found: Oscar tries to help a spirit that never had a chance at life.
The Last Soldier of the Somme: A Canadian fighter in World War I encounters darker forces.
Stardust and Soliloquies: A steampunk-ish story involving undead explorers of the Astral sea, a ghostly old acquaintance of Oscar's, and an old sea captain weighed down by regret.
The Ghost of Witch Lake: Oscar receives a letter leading him to the story of a mysterious island in a lake in the US Northwest, a dead girl that haunts it, and a father willing to do anything to see her again.
It is rumored that we haven't seen the end of Oscar's adventures. Tri Vuong also made Everyday Hero Machine Boy and Anchovie Akiyama. You can keep up with Tri's work on his Instagram page.
