FIRST LOOK: SpectreVision & Oni Press’ Uncanny Investigation Begins in HIGH STRANGENESS: BOOK ONE

A Brand-New, Five-Part Limited Series Influenced By Real, Documented Cases Of Paranormal Phenomena from an Otherworldly Cast of Creators – Beginning with Superstar Writer Chris Condon, SpectreVision Co-Founder Daniel Noah & Ringo Award Winner Dave Chisholm


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.


With future issues featuring HIGH STRANGENESS architect Daniel Noah joining writers Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Don't Die), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Cecil Castellucci (EC's Cruel Universe), and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness) alongside dazzling artists Noah Bailey (Station Grand), Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss), Chloe Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), and Christian Ward (The Ultimates), HIGH STRANGENESS will reveal the liminal spaces where reality and hallucination and science and mythology give way to cosmic wonder and existential terror… Featuring a stunning collection of covers by Jock (Wytches, Detective Comics), Dave Chisholm (Spectrum), Becca Carey (Benjamin, Radiant Black), and Malachi Ward (Black Hammer), enter HIGH STRANGENESS: BOOK ONE on October 8!
