High Strangeness: Book One taps into our wonder of the universe and our fear of the unknown. Unidentified Flying Objects have long fascinated us. Their reports make us wonder how much the government knows about them. Chris Condon and Daniel Noah tap into this frustration from being kept in the dark about the dangers threatening us.
Dave Chisholm's art presents us with the comfort of the known, and our suspicion of strangers. The off-kilter panels evoke shattered glass, suggesting the broken trust between ourselves and the authorities. The vivid coloring of the sunset, as it fills the living room, should put us at our ease. But then the strangers utter a menacing warning beneath the sickly green coloring from the kitchen's overhead lights.

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.
