Breath of Needed Freshness...For Hardcore Traditional Comic Fan

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2012

Im on page 102 of this vol.1 pocket edition and hooked. What will happen next, when or will Francine and Katchoo hook up? What did Katchoo do in Canada? For me its more like a fully illustrared novel...cant wait to get to the end and start on vol.2 thru to the end...Already have Terry Moore's Echo complete one book collected issues ordered on the way...it all started when I picked up "How to Draw Beautiful" by Terry Moore, as I'm seriously getting back into my art after too long a hiatius. Just looking at his technique and sheer awesome art talent I thought, if he writes half as good as he draws ive got to read Strangers in Paradise! And its more than met my expectations. If you like comics and your tastes have matured to where the x-men just don't cut it anymore, try this out...it might be just what the literary Dr. Ordered. (Though I'm not above sci-fi and hero comics, as I was blown away by the Batman Earth One book! But this is a great switch up to break the constant good vs evil thing...S.I.P. is more grey, like real life.)

Enjoyed the writing style and unique combination of romance, thrills, suspense, and reality. Very good jumping point for people interested in reading the independent circuit.

Wonderful series. Worth every penny. Has some same sex love story to it, but if you are open minded, you may fall in love with this like I did.

This is good stuff. I wouldn't lie to you. It's like a dramedy T.V. show in the form of a graphic novel. You can't put it down once you start to read. Just get it - no need to thank me for the advice.

Perfect! I love Terry Moore to little pieces, but buying the full-size volumes was very hard on my budget. This was great.

I devoured this book in one sitting. The characters are wonderful and so is the dialogue. I can't wait to get the other

The opening of something truly special...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2012

I've been a comic reader for years now; I grew up reading Alan Moore (before I could appreciate the weight that comes with the man) in 2000AD, and have tangled with books by him and other greats like Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman... so I've spoiled myself with some of the best of the best. Nothing though is like Terry Moore's masterpiece Strangers in Paradise.

There's nothing otherworldly here; no magic, no superpowers, no aliens, nothing remotely strange. This is, at its core, a story about two people and the path they chart through life - sometimes together, sometimes apart - and true love. If you require guns, violence, explosions... well, you get some of that too, but it's secondary to what is most important of all here: the relationship between the two central characters of Francince and Katchoo, two women struggling with their pasts, their desires, their dreams and their often troubled futures.

The themes in this story are familiar ones to us all, grounding the story in ordinary feelings and experiences, while weaving in a complex background of gangsters, deception, espionage and murder. Twisting between the suburban and everyday into this world of organised crime, the danger would be that the two halves of the story would seem divorced from one another - even moreso considering the book uses an often drifting perspective, flashing forward and back in time and sometimes eschewing ordinary panels for written text, scripts, even song lyrics and music. Instead, Moore blends them masterfully creating a complex tale that never loses you and just keeps hooking you in with unanswered questions that get under your skin and refuse to let go. It pulls you along, and not once did I want to put this book down once opened. And once I was done, I opened the next book.

While the story can go to out-of-the-ordinary places (including some occasionally goofy story-asides, including a glorious homage to Xena: Warrior Princess), this is at its heart a story about very real women, with flaws, strengths, weaknesses, and a genuine love for one another. Like I said, Strangers in Paradise is a romance, one spanning years, involving two women, one guy, and a lot of problems both ordinary and extraordinary; the laughter, the tears, the murders... and as much as I love the excess and daring-do of other comics, I have never read a book as special as this. If you've never read Terry Moore before, start here. You won't regret it. You'll also be reading the greatest romance in comic book history.

Read it, then try telling me I'm wrong.

Great start!

I used to be an avid comic book reader when I was a kid, but my interest faded when I hit my late teens and I honestly didn't think I would get back into the genre again, but then I watched a review of the Strangers in Paradise series and thought it would be worth a go - and what an interesting journey this first installment promises to embark on! It is full of great (and incredibly well developed as we discover during the course of the first volume) characters, interesting storylines that interconnect perfectly and at just the right pace. There are villains and heroes, but the lines are blurred and realistic on a level that less mature comic books will never reach. This is a series about relationships, love, loss, power - ordinary themes, but treated in an unconventional way and when I had turned the last page, I ordered the next 4 installments and couldn't wait to hear more about the lives of Katchoo, Francine and David - a feeling I only ever experience with great books and great protagonists. Big compliments to Terry Moore for creating such an intriguing group of people and managing to introduce a very good action story in the process!

I like the art style without colour, plain pencil. Simple story about 2 individual girls finding their place in each other.
