Drawn and Quarterly

Further proof that some of the best alternative publishing in Canada emerges in comic form. A beautiful, glossy and poignant production that ranges across time and space to find worthy subject matter. These are not cheap-joke strips or action throw-aways, but carefully considered fictions; a traveler in Paris coming to terms with his solitude; a French soldier in World War I wandering through the deathscape of history. Seven bucks may seem pricey, but after enjoying the restrained comprehension of human dignity these illustrated moments capture with glorious gloss, you won’t want it any other way.
