Little Ghost Laban’s Ghastly Castle Comics

By Inger and Lasse Sandberg

Little Ghost Laban is a ghost who’s afraid of the dark. His scary, yet kind, father had high hopes for his son, but Laban is more interested in helping out around the castle than learning the business of scaring others. His sister Labolina is feisty, full of fun, and has a very strong voice that keeps them all awake at night. The first comic album about Little Ghost Laban is full of spookiness and castle shenanigans! Laban has exchanged letters with Gruffolina the monster, and Gruffolina decides to pay a visit. Daddy Ghost falls ill, and starts to change colours: he becomes red, yellow, and eventually has colourful spots all over! One night, paintings begin to talk – what is all that noise around the castle? Come along with Little Ghost Laban as he goes through his typical days in the castle Gomorronsol.
