Spotlight on Fandom: Strangers In Paradise

[thatsamilkshake]

Spotlight time, yay!

thatsamilkshake and thismaskiwear here this week, with the Crazy Toon People edition, otherwise known as the Strangers in Paradise Spotlight.

SiP is a comic series by Terry Moore; it started as a three-issue miniseries published by Antarctic Press in 1993 and ended in 2007 under Terry's own Abstract Studios imprint after a three volume, 106 issue run. (There was a brief detour into publishing under Image Comics' Homage imprint for a few issues there, and then it was back to Abstract Studios.)

By the way, if Terry's art style looks familiar to any of you who read the Buffy comics, he did the artwork for the Willow and Tara: Wannablessedbes one-off that Amber Benson wrote. He's also the current writer - but not artist - on Marvel's Runaways.

ANYWAY. The official tagline of SiP is that it's about "two ordinary women living extraordinary lives," and sure, okay, that works, but it's a little bit more . . . well . . . complex than that.
