"Though considered uncool, I was magnetically attracted to the irresistibly adorable Harvey comics… Casper, Spooky, Wendy and Hot Stuff in particular… and always kept an eye out for that one issue where they finally revealed who murdered Casper the friendly Ghost. "As a young collector in the days before the internet, before our town even dreamt of a comic shop, I remember walking the train tracks on weekends, hunting back issues at garage sales and flea markets, picking up whatever I could find," said cartoonist Jay Stephens. In August, Stephens will return to Oni as they pick up his small press comic Dwellings #1 – the first of three, 72-page issues published bi-monthly in prestige format and re-presenting his successfully self-published series that splices the visual style of 1960s Harvey Comics with hard-R horror and violence, previously crowdfunded on Crowdfundr as Black Eye Books, and won the Doug Wright "Pigskin Peters" Award for Best Small Press Comic
