About

We're Al Fukalek and Shawn Gustafson. We met in college and bonded over comics, games, and general geekery. It wasn't long before our mutual interests, Al's love of drawing, and Shawn's love of writing found us making comics of our own. The Specialists is our latest and greatest collaboration.

We're Al Fukalek and Shawn Gustafson. We create The Specialists, a comic about an alternate-history WWII in which the Nazis develop superhuman Übermenschen, and are winning the war. The Allies respond by harnessing the power of the atom to create their own super-soldiers. Currently, we publish a new page every Monday, but we'd love to be able to do more, and that's where Patreon comes in!

   



Patreon provides an easy way for people to support the creators whose work they enjoy. You determine how much you want to pay and Patreon automatically collects your pledge at the end of each month.  You can change or cancel your pledge at any time. Your pledges enable creators to keep producing the art you love, and in return, your patronage earns you special rewards from the creators you support.

    


We put a lot of time and energy into every page of The Specialists, and we will continue to publish it every week for free. But with your patronage, we can do more! If you pledge to support us, here's what you get:
  • The satisfaction of knowing that you're supporting a creation that you enjoy, and our sincerest thanks!
