Drawn & Quarterly: 25 Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, & Graphic Novels celebrates the storied transformation of the Montreal publisher whose veneration of the medium`s best cartoonists has never wavered. In 1989, when the term graphic novel was not commonly heard in the comic shop or bookstore, Chris Oliveros created a comics magazine that took the industry by storm when early issues featured Peter Bagge, Julie Doucet, Carol Tyler, Jacques Tardi, & Seth. Armed with an unparalleled editorial aesthetic, design sense, & passion for its artists, D+Q gracefully grew from a one-man operation into a wildly influential boutique publisher. D+Q is renowned for an author-friendly ethos of high production standards, creative freedom & fair business practices, with a roster including Lynda Barry, Kate Beaton, Chester Brown, Daniel Clowes, Tove Jansson, Shigeru Mizuki, Art Spiegelman, Adrian Tomine, Chris Ware, & others from around the globe. Drawn & Quarterly: 25 Years is a celebration of the brilliant cartoonists whose talent & loyalty is the core of D+Q`s success as a 21st-century independent publisher. The book digs into the archives & features comics, biographies, personal reminiscences, & photographs; new work by Michael De Forge, Guy Delisle, Miriam Katin, R. Sikoryak, Jillian Tamaki; essays by Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Lethem, Sheila Heti, Deb Olin Unferth; interviews by Jeet Heer & Sean Rogers. ...
