Who couldn’t use a little more of the fantastic in their lives? Well, some of the protagonists of these graphic novels have probably had their fill, but for the rest of us, the following five comics are a great way to spend an afternoon.

Down a Dark Path cover

The Bizarre Bazaar: Down a Dark Path by Daniel Nayeri and Lesley Vamos

Hosted by a fairy and a djinn who were exiled to Earth for seven (and a half!) eternities, this series features unsettling mystery stories. In the latest installment, two sisters come to suspect that a vampire is lurking in the woods surrounding their family’s isolated farm. But is there something closer to home that should worry them more?

I Can Sell You a Body cover

I Can Sell You a Body by Ryan Ferrier and George Kambadais (Out Jan 28)

Denny has a most unusual talent: the ability to transfer the spirits of the dead into living human bodies. This makes him a very popular fellow, right up until it doesn’t. When he falls in love with one of the people whose body is about to become rented property, Denny suddenly finds himself on the run from all sorts of dangerous people.

Love Me to Death Vol 1 cover

Love Me to Death Volume One by Toonimated

Did someone ask for a polyamorous Frankenstein adaptation with an all-Latine cast? In this inventive adaptation, the religious authorities in San Guadario have banned necromancers like Victor, making it impossible for him to live a normal life. So when wealthy Enrique offers him oodles of money to reanimate his dead bride Mercedes, Victor can’t refuse. But who killed Mercedes, and why doesn’t she remember anything about her own life?

Nayra and the Djinn cover

Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata

Nayra’s life is a mess, both at school and at home. Fortunately — or so she thinks — she finds a djinn named Marjan who is willing to smooth her path a little. But Marjan has troubles of her own, and they could very well make Nayra’s life far worse than she ever imagined.

Salt Magic cover

Salt Magic by Hope Larsen and Rebecca Mock

Vonceil’s brother, Elber, has been quiet and responsible — in other words, nothing like the brother she knows — ever since returning from the Great War. Vonceil herself will have to learn about responsibility and sacrifice when a salt witch, having been spurned by Elber back in Europe, turns all of their town’s potable water to salt water. This forces her on an epic journey to save her family.
