Strangers in Paradise #26
In "Running Late," Terry Moore delivers a quietly powerful chapter of *Strangers in Paradise* as Francine chooses to stay behind while David and Katchoo head to New York, forcing her to confront her own path. Meanwhile, Casey reaches out to the group for comfort after her split with Freddie, and the journey of the two travelers takes a terrifying turn when their plane begins to fail mid-flight—first losing its rudder, then its hydraulics—before crashing in a field near Nashville. With art, inks, and letters all by Terry Moore, the issue’s emotional weight is matched by its stark, grounded storytelling. The cover, also by Moore, captures the moment with a sense of quiet dread.
