I am a longtime-ish fan of Simon Hanselmann, having enjoyed his works since, Hell, when I first discovered him via some pieces for the VICE website back in 2016 or so? He's put out everything from small press mini-comics to big award-winning collections. He just started an official Patreon this week! It will not have physical stuff for sale, as Hanselmann has relegated the distribution of that to Secret Headquarters (for the single comics) and Fantagraphics (for the meaty collections). There will be tons of out-of-print stuff posted, random works that hadn't seen the light of day at all, and Hanselmann plans to use the Patreon to complete his zombie epic, "You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy," before serializing the long-gestating, "Megg's Coven."
It is only $6 a month to get access to almost daily posts of content and getting to study the fascinating thought process of one of my favorite modern-day comic-makers. Plus, Hanselmann is already quite active in engaging with supporters/backers in the comments, and you already know I'm going to message him a request to make a big graph breaking down the continuities of the various Megg, Mogg, and Owl universes that seem to exist (we've got the main one, Truth Zone one, the Crisis Zone one, the zombie one, and the list goes on, with at least half of them featuring Werewolf Jones tragically/violently dead). Here's that link again if you want to check out the Patreon!
