Comic creator Gary Spencer Millidge has announced that he is currently working on Strangehaven: Epilogue, a 50-page final chapter to his long-running independent comic book series, Strangehaven. And to help buy the time to complete it, he is launching a Patreon.
Millidge started self-publishing Strangehaven in 1995 as an ongoing comic book series. He published three collected editions, Arcadia, Brotherhood and Conspiracies, with the fourth volume, Destiny, serialised in Soaring Penguin’s Meanwhile… anthology.
The last chapter of Destiny was published in Meanwhile…#12 in 2023. (The Collected Meanwhile, comprising #1 – 4, is listed on the Soaring Penguin Press web site, and available here on AmazonUK – Affiliate Link)
On his website, Millidge writes, “As always intended, Strangehaven: Epilogue will be the final chapter of Strangehaven. And because I’m a masochistic fool, it’ll be over fifty pages long; essentially be a fifty-page victory lap. A Strangehaven: Encore, if you will.”
“If you started following Strangehaven at some point during the last (almost!) thirty years or so, you will want to read this. As for where and when it will appear…stay tuned. It’s most likely that it will be included as a bonus in the forthcoming collection. I’ll make a further announcement of my future plans for Strangehaven once the epilogue is complete – which might not be as far away as you might imagine, as I’m already deep into it.”
Millidge’s new Patreon will offer access to posts that will include progress reports on the epilogue, work-in-progress, insights into his life as an independent creator, and more.
Readers can show their support and help Gary Spencer Millidge complete the epilogue finished by visiting his Patreon page, which is live now
