BAD GATEWAY Tour 2019 with Simon Hanselmann

Floating World Comics 1223 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR, United States

Megg & Mogg reach new highs—and lows. Simon Hanselmann’s previous three Megg & Mogg books—2014’s Megahex, 2016’s Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam, and 2017’s One More Year—have all been international best sellers that have cemented Hanselmann as one of the most exciting graphic novelists of his generation. Bad Gateway is the magnum opus that those three books have been building towards, as Megg and Mogg’s fraught relationship careens into psychological depths that Hanselmann has previously only hinted at.
