Simon Hanselmann: Bad Gateway

Simon Hanselmann joins us to discuss his new graphic novel Bad Gateway, the latest installment in the Megg and Mogg series.

About Bad Gateway

Perpetually intoxicated, lovable degenerates Megg and Mogg have drifted through a consequence-free life full of raucous antics. But their heavy drug use, once a gateway to adventure, has begun to take a grim psychological toll. As her unstable lifestyle finally catches up to her, Megg turns to her past to uncover the roots of the self-destructive habits that have led her down this dark path. Bad Gateway is the magnum opus that Simon Hanselmann’s previous work has been building towards, careening into new psychological depths.

Simon Hanselmann was born in 1981 in Launceston, Tasmania. His New York Times best-selling Megg & Mogg series has been translated into thirteen languages, nominated for multiple Ignatz and Eisner awards, and won “Best Series” at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2018. He currently lives in Seattle with his wife and a rotating cast of small animals.
