High Strangeness: Book One: 1967 Issue

by Chris Condon, Daniel Noah, Dave Chisholm (Illustrator)

"SpectreVision, the genre-distorting production company co-founded by Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah, joins forces with Oni Press and a rotating cast of premier comics talents for an unprecedented excursion into HIGH STRANGENESS—a brand-new series influenced by real, documented cases of paranormal phenomena, to reveal the liminal spaces where reality and hallucination and science and mythology give way to cosmic wonder and existential terror . . . In the first double-sized, prestige format 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 Men in Black . . . 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, 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ High Strangeness: Book One: 1967 Issue

By Chris Condon, Daniel Noah, Illustrated by Dave Chisholm

Outstanding and out of this world!
This first entry in the High Strangeness series delivers a gripping blend of paranormal mystery and cosmic unease. Chris Condon’s sharp storytelling, paired with Daniel Noah’s experiential insight, sets the stage for a narrative that feels both grounded in history and charged with otherworldly tension. Dave Chisholm’s illustrations elevate the atmosphere—moody, precise, and perfectly tuned to the eerie liminal spaces the story inhabits.

Set in 1967, the tale follows journalist Harry Kean as he investigates the disappearance of Becky Plume, a teenager whose UFO photographs drew national attention. What begins as a skeptical assignment quickly spirals into a labyrinth of Men in Black encounters, vanishing clues, and unsettling truths that blur the line between hoax and cosmic terror.

The prestige format makes this debut feel cinematic, and the inclusion of Jim Perry’s essay on the real-world phenomena adds a fascinating layer of authenticity. It’s a book that doesn’t just entertain—it unsettles, intrigues, and leaves you eager for the next chapter in this five-part series.

A strong start to a series that promises to push the boundaries of comics storytelling. I’m already looking forward to the next installment.

Happy reading from the Void 🛸👽🪐📚

A journalist investigates a disappearance of a woman that put pictures online of UFOs.

I like the art. Helps set the mood, that is a bit eerie and supernatural. The writing is OK. He can't help adding left wing talking points.
Not super interested in what will happen so don't think I will continue
