Phantom on the Scan

In the limited series Phantom on the Scan (2021, AfterShock), a routine medical exam reveals something impossible—a ghostly presence on a patient's CT scan, launching a chilling blend of medical drama and supernatural horror. Across its five-issue run, artist Mark Torres brings the eerie concept to life, grounding the spectral mystery in the sterile, unsettling world of hospital corridors and diagnostic images. The series stands out for its fresh, science-tinged take on ghost stories, exploring how modern technology might accidentally glimpse the afterlife.
