Blue Book Vol. 1: Library Edition (Dark Horse, 2025)

From the New York Times bestseller and multi-Eisner award-winner James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake, The Department of Truth) and Eisner award-winning Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, B.P.R.D., Judge Dredd) comes this ambitious, non-fiction comic book experience depicting true stories of UFO abductions with an eye to capturing the strange essence of those encounters in a deluxe, oversized hardcover format. James Tynion IV presents what he calls his "True Weird" stories. Tales of ordinary people encountering the strange and the impossible. Teaming with artist Michael Avon Oeming and letterer Aditya Bidikar, they retell some of the most popular UFO and alien encounter accounts starting with two infamous cases: First, the Betty and Barney Hill abduction—the widely-publicized and very first abduction that went on to shape and influence all future encounter stories. Second, we follow pilot Kenneth Arnold who flew his Call-Air A-2 over the skies of the Pacific Northwest and encountered otherworldly blinding flashes of silver light that would change the course of his life forever. Collects the first two arcs of Blue Book in a library edition format. Tiny Onion Studios and Dark Horse Comics present a line of upcoming creator-owned work from the mind of James Tynion IV across a broad spectrum of his interests, from non-fiction supernatural encounters to high concept coming-of-age monster comics.
