Strangers in Paradise is a wonderfully realistic comic book brought to life by the enormous talent of its writer/artist, Terry Moore. This Eisner Award winning comic series chronicles the life of Katina Choovanski, affectionately known as Katchoo to her friends. She is the picture of perfection, a beautiful face with a gorgeous body. But that pretty face hides a sharp mind and a keen wit, not to mention enough secrets to astound the CIA.
A hardcase with a hard attitude, Katchoo only has two weaknesses:
The first is for David, a close friend with connections to her dark and dangerous past. He loves her completely, and would give anything to have her, but it is a love that Katchoo does not share. Sometimes warm and often adversarial, their relationship is something she is hardpressed to define. But regardless of her confusion over it, David's friendship is something that Katchoo has come to count on and need.
Her second, and most powerful, weakness is for her best friend, Francine, the woman who holds the strings to her heart
Francine is a wonderfully naive young girl, who has believed for most of her life that happiness meant having a man to love her. Riddled with self doubt and insecurities, she usually finds herself struggling with the way the world sees her. Deemed imperfect by most and raised in an overly conservative environment, she has a hard time accepting Katchoo's love for her, and an even harder time turning away from it.
Strangers In Paradise (SIP) is the story of three friends, Francine, Katchoo and David and the people they fall in and out of love with. It's a tale of dark pasts and hopeful futures, double-crosses and true friendship, love and hate. In other words: it's a story of real life, kicked up a notch.The highly acclaimed ongoing comic book series, Strangers In Paradise, was created by Terry Moore in 1993 and the continuing story is published every six weeks. SIP has been awarded numerous industry awards including the 2003 Inkpot Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comic Arts, a 2002 YALSA/ALA selection for Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults, the GLAAD Media Award for Best Comic Book in 2000, and the 1996 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for Best Serialized Story.
SIP is published in eight languages around the world including English, French, German, Spanish, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch and Italian.
