Blue has been living as a ghost for a year when he meets Hamal, a beautiful and sweet gardener who has the ability to see and communicate with spirits.

About the Author

Keezy Young is a queer comic artist and illustrator from the Pacific Northwest, currently in Seattle, WA. Although their art is self-taught, they credit Digimon, Hiromu Arakawa, Trina Schart Hyman, Arthur Rackham, and Studio Ghibli as important influences. Their work is character-focused, and they use action, romance, and mystery to explore LGBTQIA characters and themes, since those are the stories they always looked for growing up, but could rarely find.  Keezy's first graphic novel, Taproot--a story about a ghost and a gardener--debuted in September 2017 with Lion Forge (now Lion Forge-Oni Press) and has won several awards, including best graphic novel by the Rainbow Book List - GLBTQ Books for Children and Teens 2017, Best of Best Shots 2017 by Newsarama, The Texas Library Association's Maverick Reading List 2018, Best LGBT Graphic Novels of 2017 by The Advocate, and the Florida Authors & Publishers Association award for best cover design (small format). Never Heroes is an ongoing, serialized dark adventure webcomic published by Hiveworks, and can be read in full online. You can also find their work in anthologies such as The Beyond Anthology Volume 2, Bring Down the Sky, and The Dream Cluster, and Circadia, a comic written by Jennifer Dugan. Keezy has also worked on covers for a number of IDW, BOOM!, and Lion Forge series, including Jem (Hasbro), Voltron (Dreamworks), and Over the Garden Wall (Cartoon Network).
