Today during this year’s New York Comic Con 2012, Abstract Studio and
comiXology - the revolutionary digital comics platform - announced the
digital debut of legendary creator Terry Moore’s entire Eisner
Award-winning romantic epic Strangers in Paradise. Spanning 107 issues and compiled in 19 trades, Strangers in Paradise
has long been hailed as one of the seminal works of sequential art and
now fans can experience the entire series across comiXology’s entire
platform - iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and the Web.
All 107 issues and 19 trades of Terry Moore’s Strangers in Paradise
are available now on comiXology in their patent pending Guided View
reading technology. For owners of the new iPad, the series can be
experienced in comiXology’s high definition CMX-HD format.
“ComiXology fans already know and love Terry’s current Rachel Rising
horror series and have devoured his recently concluded Echo sci-fi
series, but we’re more excited than ever to bring the work that put
Terry Moore on the map with today’s debut of Strangers in Paradise ,” said co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “With the perfect mix of humor, romance and drama, Strangers in Paradise
is an amazing read for hard-core comic fans and new readers alike, and
we’re honored to bring the entire amazing work to our world-wide
audience.”
“I’m very happy to partner with comiXology in bringing Strangers in Paradise to a whole new audience,” said Strangers in Paradise
creator Terry Moore. “ComiXology offers comic book fans an incredible
shopping and reading experience, and I’ve been loving experiencing
Rachel Rising and Echo in Guided View and both look fantastic in CMX-HD.
I can’t wait to hear what fans have to say about Strangers in Paradise
on comiXology.”
Abstract Studio and comiXology worked closely together to acquire the
highest resolution source material possible to present Moore’s Strangers in Paradise in
comiXology’s stunning high-definition comic format - CMX HD - for
comiXology fans on the new iPad. With Guided View and CMX-HD, comiXology
adds new dimensions to an acclaimed classic.
Terry Moore’s Strangers in Paradise focuses
on the difficult relationship between a kind-hearted hopeless romantic
Francine, her best friend Katchoo a jilted artist with a mysterious
past, and David Qin an NYU art student madly in love with Katchoo with a
few secrets of his own. A mix of romance, comedy and thriller,
Strangers in Paradise has received critical acclaim since it’s original
