Oni Press is partnering with SpectreVision, the production company run by actor Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee, on the comic High Strangeness. The five-part comic is inspired by accounts of paranormal encounters, including UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and other supernatural experiences.

SpectreVision is the production company behind horror films and supernatural thrillers like Mandy, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Color Out of Space, and Daniel Isn’t Real. About ten years ago, Noah had an unexplained experience at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado (the hotel that inspired Stephen King’s The Shining), and since then, he has researched and documented hundreds of strange encounters.

High Strangeness will pair that research with comic creators including Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Dave Chisholm (Plague House), Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Run Rabid), Noah Bailey (Station Grand), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Valeria Burzo (Epitaphs from the Abyss), Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Girl), Chloe Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness).

Oni Press and SpectreVision will preview High Strangeness at San Diego Comic-Con with a live podcast taping of SpectreVision Radio Live held on Saturday, July 26 at the Neil Morgan Auditorium in the San Diego Central Library. Wood and Noah, the co-founders of SpecreVision, and Euphomet creator and host Jim Perry will discuss the first comics collaboration with Oni. They will be joined by Cantwell, Condon, Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson, and Senior Editor Bess Pallares.

“There are people from all walks of life bound quietly together by anomalous experience: ghost encounters, cryptids sightings, UFOs, extrasensory perception, and all manner of high strangeness,” Noah said. “The questions raised by these incidents are profound, probing the mystery of existence and suggesting the possibility of a single unifying theory that ties it all together. The stories in this series seek to go further than genre has gone before, not by offering definitive answers, but by asking the right questions. Not just who we are, but what are we? And what is the true nature of this theater in which we live?”

The series begins with a 40-page tale about an encounter with the Men in Black in 1967. The five-part comic is presented in prestige format with cardstock covers, high quality paper, and a feature length essay by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry on the stories presented in each issue.

High Strangeness: Book One – 1967 will be in comic shops on October 8, 2025, featuring covers by Jock (Wytches), Chisholm, Becca Carey (Benjamin), and Malachi Ward (Black Hammer).
