Call me a Tradd wife, because I want Moore of this great news: Tradd Moore, the idiosyncratic, iconic artists of Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise, The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, and Silver Surfer: Black is back with his first creator-owned series from Oni Press: Touch Me Someplace Nowhere.
Writing, illustrating and coloring the new book, per PR, it “follows a cascading cast of outsiders through their turbulent, violent, and libidinous misadventures in an alternate New York City, where a colorful hierarchy of street gangs compete for domination and (literal) wild animals roam the streets. At its center: Kelly Muir, the prodigal child of a powerful New York City crime family, who is about to find herself on a self-immolating, lovesick bender through the exuberant nocturnal archipelagos of drug-infused, gangland Brooklyn after dark.”
Said Moore, “This comic stretches a gonzo tightrope between camp genres I love over unresolved feelings that pang; I’m thrilled to dance on it with my tongue out. Romantic, perilous, and aching.”
“TOUCH ME SOMEPLACE NOWHERE conjures visions of Shakespeare by way of Paul Thomas Anderson in what is sure to be a masterful and unforgettable expression of comic book and poetic storytelling,” added Oni Press Editor-In-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Tradd’s rich cast of characters are steeped in style, conviction, and desire. Readers will fall in love with Kelly and the multifaceted tapestry of her life in this wild adventure.”
“What more can be said: Tradd is one of the true creative geniuses working in our medium today, and his phenomenal talents as an artist and storyteller are already well-known to everyone invested in the future of what comics can be. TOUCH ME SOMEPLACE NOWHERE is a once-in-a-generation project, and it’s an immense honor for the entire Oni Press team to be entrusted with bringing Tradd’s singular vision to the page,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson.
While the book won’t be in stores until 2027, of course there’s a San Diego Comic-Con connection. In this case, Moore will be a special guest of Oni Press on the con and appear in a first-ever career retrospective spotlight panel (timing TBA). He’ll also do two signings at the “Oni Press booth (#1829), where an exclusive, 9×12″ TOUCH ME SOMEPLACE NOWHERE art print (limited to 500) will be given away to attendees while supplies last.”
