From Dark Horse Books and Tiny Onion Studios
Dark Horse Books and Tiny Onion present True Weird Volume 1, a collection of black-and-white short comics originally featured as bonus stories throughout Blue Book series 1 and 2. Based on true accounts, these stories describe encounters with cryptids, ghosts, paranormal phenomena, medical oddities, and all manner of the strange.

True Weird Volume 1 (paperback, 120 pages, 6.625×10.188”) will be available in bookstores on January 28, 2025 and in comic shops on January 29, 2025. It is now available to pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, tfaw.com, and your local comic shop and indie bookstore for $24.99.
Praise for True Weird stories:
“Tynion and Janson’s back-up has more of a standard narrative, which makes it a fun chaser to the lead story. It’s an interesting weird story about Coney Island, and it has a great twist when it gets even weirder. It’s the sort of back-up that feels worth it.”—Comicon
“Blue Book delivers a banger of a backup story, thanks to Lonnie Nadler and Jenna Cha’s grotesque take on the infamous Tarrare…Nadler and Cha show off what modern-day interpretations of folklore and ‘true weird’ stories could be and how this book’s format could produce some real gems in the future.”—Comicbook.com
