CREATOR SIGNING & BOOK LAUNCH: HANS VOGEL IS DEAD VOL 2
with creator SIERRA BARNES in conversation with CAIT MCPHERSON

>>SATURDAY, AUGUST 1st @ 6:30pm

Sierra’s antifascist fairytale about a dead Nazi pilot who must confront his sins through a lens of German folklore. Sierra Barnes will be here in conversation with fellow cartoonist Cait McPherson (Bybloemen), getting into the backstory of this unique series. Whether you’re familiar with Hans Vogel Is Dead or not, this should be a fascinating discussion for any aspiring comic artist or anyone interested in folklore.

“Deceased Nazi ace pilot Hans Vogel continues his journey through an eerie afterlife populated by figures from German folklore in this second graphic novel installment of Hans Vogel is Dead. Just when he’s begun to take responsibility for his actions in life, direct confrontation with the Erlking, his vicious allies, and Hans’s own past may send him spiraling back into denial—leaving Reineke, the young fox-girl in his care, in danger. Hans thought he and Reineke would be safe in the castle where resistance to the evil Erlking is rallying its forces. Instead he found a doddering old king clinging to broken ideals, tension amongst the would-be allies, and a ghost from his past with its talons around his throat. So when he and Reineke have a chance to leave the castle in pursuit of a wayward princess, they take it.

Running from his fears takes him from an imprisoned potential ally to the heart of his enemy’s fortress, but his time is running out, and a collision with the monsters within and without are inevitable. Can he muster his post-mortem morality to make a stand for what’s right, or will he return to complicit cowardice?”
