Strangers in Paradise

Terry Moore’s Strangers in Paradise launched in 1993 from Antarctic Press, a three-issue series that introduced the complex, intimate world of Katchoo and Francine. Written and drawn entirely by Moore, this early, self-contained story laid the foundation for the acclaimed ongoing saga of friendship, love, and betrayal that would follow. A landmark in independent comics, it showcased Moore’s distinctive black-and-white art and his gift for nuanced, character-driven drama.
