Trade Review“I discovered SiP a few years after it started in 1996, and it was very influential in my interest in telling relationship stories 'with a twist’...Terry made us notice the day to day relationships between the main characters…Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary has always been a good way to make people pay attention (to) the details of the characters’ lives and as a result, reflect on their own lives.” – Fabio Moon, Co-creator of Daytripper
“We need Real Girls – civilians – as readers, and we need Real Girls – humans - to read about. Enter Francine Peters and Katina Choovanski.” -Diana Schutz
“it is Strangers in Paradise's place within the context of graphic-novel history that cements its continued importance, and makes the case for the release of this new volume. The series was one of the first of its genre to feature unabashedly queer characters throughout its run, earning it several GLAAD Awards, as well as an Eisner.” – Shelf-Awareness
“No superheroes, no magic, no fantasy, no elves, no science fiction, no ultraviolence – just very believable characters, a compelling, captivating storyline and incredible artwork from Terry Moore!” -Comic Shop News
“What most people don’t know about lobe, sex and relations with other humans beings would fill a book. Strangers In Paradise is that book.” -Neil Gaiman
“When people say romance comics are dead, I shove an SIP graphic novel into their hands.” -Kevin Smith
