As both the art and writing duties on "Strangehaven" are taken up by its creator, Gary Spencer Millidge, and since the comic book is not his only source of income, the book has always had an irregular production schedule. For the first four years of its life Millidge managed to produce one issue every six or seven months, but after 1999 the book moved to a yearly production schedule while Millidge dealt with personal issues, and in 2005, with the publication of issue 18, it went on indefinite hiatus. Since then, Millidge has concentrated on paid, non-"Strangehaven" work.
