Wondercon 2025: Stranger Things Meets Fiddler on the Roof

Stranger Things Meets Fiddler on the Roof

A couple of years ago at Wondercon, I stumbled across a fun trade paperback called The Very Final Last Girls. The writer, Josh Eiserike, had just started a new series with Scout Comics called Charm City. This year, Josh is back launching a YA series called Pale of Settlement, available on Webtoons but really, it’s so good to have the book in my hands.

With artist Tina Ritchie, Josh has created a story set in 1881 but that resonates with 2025. As my headline suggests, it’s got the energy of Stranger Things with Fiddler on the Roof. Let me let Josh tell it.

You can find Josh and his books at Table E-50 at Wondercon in Artists’ Alley today (March 29) and tomorrow (March 30).
