Strangers-in-Paradise

There are a lot of details in Strangers in Paradise that add up to make it an excellent book. It’s written and drawn by Terry Moore; since it’s all done by the same person, you know that everything you’re seeing is the absolute intent of the creator, rather than an interpretation on someone’s part that might have given you the wrong idea.

It’s not a book about superheroes, and while I do love reading about superheroes, it’s great to see something that’s about regular people (even if the situations aren’t the kinds of things that happen to everyone every day, they’re all things that you can see happening in the real world). It also has a great cast of characters, all of whom are presented in ways that surprise and delight me as a reader. ...
