SpectreVision, the production company behind such films as Mandy, Color Out of Space, and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is teaming with Oni Press to investigate the in-between in High Strangeness.
The prestige formatted, double-sized, five-part experiment in comic book launches on October 8 with High Strangeness: Book One – 1967, and we have an exclusive, extended preview below.
SpectreVision co-founder and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah joins acclaimed writer Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine) for an unexpected encounter with the Men in Black illustrated by Dave Chisholm (Plague House).
Influenced by real, documented cases of paranormal phenomena, High Strangeness reveals the liminal spaces where reality and hallucination and science and mythology give way to cosmic wonder and existential terror.
Chicago, 1967. Magazine writer Harry Kean is 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 issues that will interlock to reveal a dimension-spanning finale, each chapter includes an essay by Euphomet podcast host Jim Perry on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in the respective issue.
High Strangeness: Book One – 1967 features covers by Jock (Wytches), Chisholm, Becca Carey (Radiant Black), and Malachi Ward (Black Hammer).
High Strangeness: Book Two – 1975 will follow on November 5.
