The graphic novel tells the story of Bird's time in L.A. starting in December 1945, where Bird and Dizzy Gillespie brought frenetic sounds of bebop from the East Coast jazz underground to the West Coast for a two-month residency at Billy Berg's Hollywood jazz club. This marked the beginning of a tumultuous two year-stint for Bird bumming around L.A., showing up at jam sessions, crashing on people's couches, causing havoc in public places, and recording some of his most groundbreaking tracks, "A Night in Tunisia" and "Ornithology," as well as "Relaxin' At Camarillo," inspired by the end of his time in SoCal at the Camarillo State Hospital. The novel explores Bird's relationship with the characters and events he encountered during his time in L.A. including recording some of his signature songs with Dial Record founder Ross Russell, a brief but influential stay at the home of famed jazz photographer William Claxton, a party for the ages at the ranch home of artist Jirayr Zorthian, and others who found themselves in the orbit of the jazz genius. Chasin' the Bird is named for Charlie Parker's 1947 standard, and adapts one of the sunnier, but darker chapters in the life of Bird, beautifully told by Dave Chisholm The book will include an exclusive flexi disc record featuring a recording from Parker's time in Los Angeles.

A decade ago, Daniel Noah—writer, producer, director, and co-founder of SpectreVision, the acclaimed production company known for films like Panos Cosmatos's Mandy, Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and many more—was a typical skeptic . . . until an awe-inspiring and unexplainable encounter at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, (the haunted hotel that inspired The Shining) left him questioning the verifiable existence of paranormal phenomenon. In the ensuing years, Noah has documented and logged hundreds of otherworldly encounters spanning the super-spectrum of “high strangeness” that connects sightings of objects in the sky to haunted places and other perplexing manifestations that extend like fingers from a hidden hand. Now, in the pages of HIGH STRANGENESS, Noah leads an otherworldly cast of premier comics talents—including acclaimed writers Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Don't Die), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Cecil Castellucci (EC's Cruel Universe), and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness), and dazzling artists Dave Chisholm (Plague House), Noah Bailey (Station Grand), Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss), Chloé Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), and Christian Ward (The Ultimates)—across five decades of uncanny encounters at the dimly lit borderlands of human experience . . . that interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale informed by Noah’s own real-life glimpses of nonhuman intelligence. Collecting High Strangeness #1–5, this oversized deluxe hardcover volume also includes a series of feature-length essays by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry (Euphomet) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each chapter.
