Article Summary
I have been readingGary Spencer Millidge’sStrangehavenfor thirty years ; part of theDave Sim - pep up ego - write gold rush of the early nineties , Millidge lead off ego - publish an artistically detailed dramatic play about a adult male who come to a village and , for unsung cause , can not leave . compare toTwin Peaksand theX - Files , it include ideas about masonic ritual , exotic abduction , and basically , whatever Millidge had been read in the back ofThe Fortean Timesthat week . Strangehavenbegan a slow publication docket , beingpicked up more recently by Soaring Penguin Press , who serialised its revival and recollection in their anthology , Meanwhile . And now , get along to a last . Millidge writes ;
" You may be forgiven for wondering what I ’ve been up to during the many calendar month or so since my last update ; or indeed , what I ’ve been up to since I completed the last episode of Strangehaven book of account IV ( release in Meanwhile … #12 ) . Well , the answer is that I ’ve had my head down working aside on an epilogue to Strangehaven , ingeniously entitled Strangehaven : Epilogue . As always mean , Strangehaven : Epilogue will be the net chapter of Strangehaven . And because I ’m a masochistic fool , it ’ll be over fifty pages long . That ’s more than two whole issues ' deserving ( or almost four Meanwhile … length chapters ) . It will essentially be a fifty - page triumph lap . A Strangehaven : Encore , if you will .
" in reality , no , it ’ll be more than just a victory circuit ; if you initiate keep up Strangehaven at some level during the last ( almost ! ) thirty years or so , you * will * want to say this . And not only because it ’s shaping up to be the good thing I ’ve ever done ( but I would say that , would n’t I ? ) . As for where and when it will appear … stay tune up . It ’s most probable that it will be included as a fillip in the outgoing collection . I ’ll make a further promulgation of my next plans for Strangehaven once the epilog is complete – which might not be as far away as you might imagine , as I ’m already deep into it . alas , I ca n’t share a mountain of the plot or any prevue picture because , as you might imagine , there would be many spoilers – particularly for those of you who have n’t read the Meanwhile … episodes . But the electronic mail coping above might suggest that the village ’s vicar has more of a part to play . But I demand help to corrupt the time I need to polish off this unredeemed thing , so I am launch a Patreon . "
We may even get further tidings that the series has been optioned for cinema and television by another funnies newspaper publisher , IDW . Might that be where the Epilogue will come from?More on the Patreon when we have it …
