She was a sexy starlet with a shapely figure. She loved hot fudge sundaes, movie stars, football heroes, baby blue sweaters and Howard Hughes. He was a lanky, billionaire playboy in a leather jacket, with a crazy hunger to bed every beautiful woman in Hollywood. He pursued Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, Joan Crawford and a hundred other leading ladies. But he had only one true love in his life. Her name was Terry Moore.

Our world was turned upside down. Two months ago, my brother, Bob, was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, a type of B-cell lymphoma, and bone cancer. Needless to say, it turned our world upside down. When we received his diagnosis, it literally knocked the wind out of me. Prior to that day, I did not even imagine that it could be cancer causing the lumps in his neck. I optimistically thought it could be benign, fatty tumors, but sadly, I was way off base on this one. To watch my brother cry was heart-wrenching. Not only am I his sister, I am also his appointment coordinator, his support system, and his cheerleader. He was scared, and so was I. Even all my years in nursing did not prepare me for handling the devastating effects that cancer can bring. Through these dark days, it was time for me to stay positive. Its time to stay courageous and help him to do the same. To help stay focused, I immediately started to journal my brothers journey dealing with cancer. I have always used journaling as my way of coping with lifes ups and downs. After a while, I recognized that through journaling and jotting down our experiences could perhaps help other cancer patients and their families. It is my way of taking a negative and turning it into a positive.

Il secondo dei sei volumi dell''edizione definitiva di Strangers in Paradise di Terry Moore è tra i più significativi dell''intera serie culto del cartoonist texano. Si apre con una sequenza davvero inaspettata a opera di Jim Lee e diventa il cuore dell''epopea sentimentale di Katchoo, Francine e David, mentre gli eventi legati all''impero di Darcy Parker marciano verso un climax sempre più inevitabile. Una collana da non perdere, per uno dei capolavori assoluto dei comics indipendenti USA.

Il primo lavoro a fumetti di Terry Moore, Strangers in Paradise, compie vent''anni nel 2013. BAO Publishing ne propone l''edizione definitiva, riveduta e corretta dallo stesso autore, in sei volumi a cadenza quadrimestrale. Lo strano triangolo sentimentale tra Katchoo, Francine e David, che rapidamente evolve e si espande fino a diventare una delle più emozionanti, toccanti, divertenti, umane saghe dei comics indipendenti americani, è una pietra miliare che meritava questa nuova edizione. I volumi saranno brossurati con alette e i dorsi, allineati, comporranno un''immagine di gruppo del cast.

Dalla mente e dalla matita di Terry Moore, ecco in un solo volume tutta la saga del ritorno in azione di Katchoo, indimenticata tra i protagonisti di Strangers in Paradise, e questa volta alle prese con una storia tutta d’azione, anche se per motivi molto personali, quasi… familiari. Attingendo alla capacità di creare thriller mozzafiato dal respiro internazionale che già aveva dimostrato ai tempi di Echo, Moore ci racconta di uno degli uomini più potenti del mondo, un visionario dalle sterminate risorse economiche, che commette l’unico errore del quale non potrà far finta di non essere responsabile: mettere in pericolo le Parker Girls, la misteriosa agenzia di donne capaci di salvare, compromettere o far sparire praticamente chiunque, per il giusto prezzo. Una storia davvero notevole, a cavallo tra le atmosfere per cui il fumettista texano è giustamente famoso. Un tassello fondamentale e molto emozionante del suo ricchissimo universo narrativo.
