About Strangers in Paradise:
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.
The Strangers in Paradise Omnibus Volume 1 (hardcover, 480 pages, 10.1875 x 6.625”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on October 13, 2026. It is now available for preorder at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $39.99.
