Owl

A quiet but memorable presence in Simon Hanselmann's darkly comic Fantagraphics universe, Owl made their debut in Megahex in 2014, stepping into the Modern Age alongside the unforgettable ensemble of Megg, Mogg, and Werewolf Jones. Hanselmann's work has earned serious cult devotion for its raw, tragicomic energy, and Owl turns up across Megahex, One More Year, and Worst Behaviour — a short but telling run in some of the most talked-about alternative comics of the 2010s. If you're exploring the wilder, more unfiltered corners of contemporary Fantagraphics publishing, this is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
