Multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book publisher, Oni Press, and SpectreVision, the genre-distorting production company run by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee, are proud to unveil the next glimpse into High Strangeness – a five-part experiment in comic book storytelling influenced by real, documented cases of paranormal phenomena, revealing the liminal spaces where reality and hallucination and science and mythology give way to cosmic wonder and existential terror.
The first issue of the double-sized, prestige format journey into the unknown begins on October 8th with High Strangeness: Book One as writer, producer, and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah joins acclaimed writer Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine, That Texas Blood) and Ringo Award–winning artist Dave Chisholm(Plague House) for an unexpected encounter with the strange beings known as the Men in Black . . .
Chicago, 1967. Magazine writer Harry Kean has been dispatched to rural Indiana to investigate the sudden disappearance of Becky Plume, a local teenager who stepped into the national spotlight with staggering photographic evidence of a recent UFO sighting. Frustrated to leave his developing stories in Chicago—and the wife he’s hoping to win back—Harry sets off to expose a hoax but instead finds himself in a labyrinth of high strangeness involving a missing girl, her boyfriend, a UFO, and some mysterious black-clad visitors circling at the perimeter of a mystery more vast than Harry could possibly imagine.
Told across five interconnected, prestige-format issues that will interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale, each chapter of High Strangeness also includes a feature-length essay by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry (Euphomet) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each issue.
