The multi-award-winning series, Strangers In Paradise, gets a brand new update in four exciting volumes!
Strangers in Paradise is the compelling love story of three unlikely friends who find themselves bound together by their pasts…
Katchoo is a beautiful young woman living in the spare bedroom of her high school friend, Francine. Brash and outspoken, Katchoo makes no secret of her love for Francine but that's not an option for the shy, insecure woman who looks for Prince Charming in a series of bad boyfriends. Enter David, a gentle but persistent artist who seems determined to win Katchoo's heart. The resulting triangle is a touching comedy of romantic errors that takes the trio down a complicated road of murder, mayhem, and love featuring an array of characters including crime bosses, psychopaths, and well-meaning friends.
Strangers In Paradise is a funny, yet complicated multi-genre graphic novel that is sure to satisfy many tastes.
This entire award-winning series is collected into four trade paperback volumes!
“SIP is beautifully drawn, with a compellingstoryline and characters that feel so real that emotions virtually leap off thepage.” - Michigan Daily
“I discovered SiP a few years after it started in 1996, and it was very influential in my interest in telling relationship stories 'with a twist’...Terry made us notice the day to day relationships between the main characters…Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary has always been a good way to make people pay attention (to) the details of the characters’ lives and as a result, reflect on their own lives.” – Fabio Moon, Co-creator of Daytripper
“it is Strangers in Paradise's place within the context of graphic-novel history that cements its continued importance, and makes the case for the release of this new volume. The series was one of the first of its genre to feature unabashedly queer characters throughout its run, earning it several GLAAD Awards, as well as an Eisner.” – Shelf-Awareness
“There is something very believable about the central characters of Strangers In Paradise.” -Asbury Park Press
“No superheroes, no magic, no fantasy, no elves, no science fiction, no ultraviolence – just very believable characters, a compelling, captivating storyline and incredible artwork from Terry Moore!” -Comic Shop News
“We need Real Girls – civilians – as readers, and we need Real Girls – humans - to read about. Enter Francine Peters and Katina Choovanski.” -Diana Schutz
