1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Sierra Barnes returns to the show to discuss the next collection of her antifascist fairy tale webcomic&amp;nbsp;Hans Vogel is Dead. She details her webcomic-to-print workflow, frequently intense production pace, delays, and outlining Volume 3 amid uncertainty about the publisher. Things hinted at in the 2023 interview are now discussed openly, including a major theme Sierra has literally been waiting years to be asked about! The conversation also explores horror as catharsis, comics versus prose from a writer's standpoint, the role of perception and animal imagery connecting to Nazi dehumanization tactics, and just what might be sitting on Sierra's creator bookshelf to the right of Hans Vogel v3 a few years from now..
