Sierra Barnes’ anti-fascist fairytale continues in Hans Vogel is Dead Volume 2, published for the first time in print! Written and illustrated byhistorian-turned-cartoonist Barnes, this second volume collects chapters 6-10 of the webcomic and includes historical notes, in-world side stories, and a sketchbook section.
Hans thought he and Reineke would be safe in the castle where resistance to the evil Erlking was 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 Hans 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 is inevitable. Can he muster his post-mortem morality to make a stand for what’s right, or will he return to complicit cowardice?
Hans Vogel is Dead Volume 2 (288 pages, paperback, 6.625″ x 10.1875″)will be available in bookstores and comic shops on December 2 and 3, 2025, respectively. It is now available to pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Things from Another World, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $29.99.
