Publication history

Originally solicited for publication by Speakeasy Comics in 2005,[1] Strangeways was pulled from their schedule by the author when it became clear that Speakeasy's financial troubles would shut the company down before completion of even the first story arc. Recently resolicited by Highway 62 Press, the first Strangeways graphic novel, Strangeways: Murder Moon (ISBN 978-0-9796957-0-4) was published in 2008.[2]

The second story Strangeways: The Thirsty[2] was serialized at Blog@Newsarama.com[3] and then at Robot6 at Comic Book Resources.[4]
