Strangehaven
Abiogenesis Press, 1995 to date
A young man is stranded in the small country village of Strangehaven. Everything seems normal at the outset, but it slowly becomes apparent that all is not well with the village inhabitants or their motivations. Strangehaven is an intriguing mystery in the tradition of Twin Peaks and The Prisoner.

"... speaking for myself, I'm in for the duration."
Dave Sim, creator of Cerebus

"Perfectly controlled and naturalistic storytelling creates a wraparound illusion of the everyday in which surreal and threatening incidents are studded like unnerving little jewels. Gary Millidge is a consummate craftsman, a watchmaker patiently constructing his own unique universe."
Alan Moore, writer of From Hell, Watchmen, V For Vendetta

"... Strangehaven is one of the minority of truly original Anglo-American comic books that rejects formula in favour of a personal vision, has real depth of plot and characterisation and carries, encapsulated between it's covers, a milieu and atmosphere completely its own."
Bryan Talbot, creator of Luther Arkwright, Tale Of One Bad Rat.
