Oni Press and SpectreVision Collaborate on High Strangeness Comic Book Imprint

Oni Press is teaming up with SpectreVision, the production company co-founded by Daniel Noah and Elijah Wood, to launch a new comic book imprint called High Strangeness in 2025. High Strangeness will curate a collection of comics connected by a common theme, focusing on horror and sci-fi stories inspired by documented cases of paranormal events.

Oni Press describes High Strangeness as a platform that will delve into the uncharted realms where hallucination, reality, science, and mythology intersect, transcending the boundaries of traditional science fiction and horror. Podcaster Jim Perry joins the collaboration as Creative Consultant which will bring a layer of knowledge to paranormal experiences.

While specific titles and creative teams have not yet been announced, Oni Press did reveal that Jim Perry, the host of the popular audio documentary Euphomet, will serve as the Creative Consultant for the High Strangeness line. Perry’s expertise and firsthand experience in exploring the paranormal will undoubtedly contribute to the imprint’s unique and immersive storytelling.

“Accounts from experiencers of the paranormal suggest a vast, interconnected narrative unfolding at the farthest reaches of human experience – from UFOs, to cryptid sightings, to patterns of synchronicities that point to an invisible architecture underlying our reality,” said Daniel Noah, Co-Founder of SpectreVision. “As an experiencer myself, I know firsthand that the world of high strangeness can have profound implications. We’re galvanized to explore this remarkable space with our partners at Oni.”

“Comics feel uniquely suited to explore this wide-ranging spectrum of paranormal phenomena, utilizing the limitless possibilities of the medium to give shape to the often gaussian accounts of what cannot be explained through traditional means,” said Elijah Wood, Co-Founder of SpectreVision. 

“Over the past decade, so many members of the Oni team and greater comics community have been inspired and influenced by SpectreVision’s extraordinary body of work. Together, we share a mutual fascination with the extremities of human understanding – where aliens, poltergeists, demons, fairies, and other entities all seem to extend like fingers from a hidden hand,” said Hunter Gorinson, President and publisher of Oni Press.

“Through the uniquely powerful lens of comic storytelling, we intend to tell an array of stories exploring these multiple manifestations, but rooted in the same common understanding: Reality is thin around the edges . . . and if we press hard enough in exactly the right places, it just might shatter.”

The anticipation surrounding this new imprint is palpable, promising an enthralling collection of spine-chilling tales that push the boundaries of imagination. Fans can expect more information about High Strangeness at L.A. Comic Con, where Daniel Noah and Elijah Wood will be making an appearance.
