Oni Press, an Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher, has announced that it is releasing the complete edition of A Thing Called Truth by the award-winning creative team Iolanda Zanfardino (Midnight Radio) and Elisa Romboli (You Never Heard of Me) on January 7th, 2026.

If you loved the first volume as much as I did, you’ll be roll back the cover of your (metaphorical) convertible and scream, “Yes, please! Give me more sexy women in sexy cars!”
A Thing Called Truth follows Dr. Magdalene Traumer, an accomplished scientist on a mission to save the world, who crosses paths with Dorian Wildfang, a free-spirited adventurer who shies away from one thing: her destiny. Together, they embark on a thrilling road-trip-type escapade through Europe, illustrating that life’s true essence lies in the journey rather than the destination. As this unlikely duo travels, they discover shared experiences that ignite a heartfelt romance while navigating personal growth amidst a world in turmoil.
“I liked the idea of creating a genius female character completely focused on her own big scientific project to the point of forgetting everything else. Media is full of male characters like that, and I wanted to point out that women can be such a mess too!”
— IOLANDA ZANFARDINO
“A Thing Called Truth is a story full of love,” Zanfardino said in the press release. “Love of cinema, the wind in your hair, new cities yet to be explored, and the brave fire in the eyes of a woman coming into her own. It’s a soul searching story about finding the balance between devoting yourself fully to a goal and being able to enjoy life with no regrets. About the dream of leaving your mark on the world. About the reasons for yearning to go far away–and those that will take you back home. It’s about how you can’t keep running forever, but facing the world gets easier when you find out you’re not alone anymore.”
The collected edition includes all 10 chapters, plus the previoiusly unpublished second volume of the innovative series, so get ready to face your fears and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure when the graphic novel hits bookstores on January 6th!
