It’s been an interesting first week of Pride Month for comics. Early in the week, in fact pretty much kicking it off, came news that Drawn & Quarterly had cancelled a book, Sadbøi, by artist Berliac due to a historic transphobic essay and comments that were brought to light. Now, on new comic day of […]

Drawn & Quarterly has cancelled the release of OGN Sadbøi by artist Berliac after controversial comments the artist made in the past have come to light. A 2015 essay by the artist contained numerous transphobic sentiments, which were pushed further in online discussion between the artist and other parties, including members of the transgender community. When a […]

Last year saw the release of Seth’s Dominion on the film festival circuit. This year we get the DVD. But because this is Seth, you don’t expect any old DVD. You get “an extravagantly designed portrait–in comics, photos, and a DVD documentary–of the world-building artist” As the listing says, When you live in an ornamented […]

I have never read Moomin even though it has been recommended to me at least 50 times, and that’s a conservative guestimate. I have seen Moomin in shops in several countries over a period of years. I have even seen fluffy toys of Moomin for sale. Come to think of it, I have seen a […]

I grew up watching the live action Pippi Longstocking films when they popped up on TV at odd times, and my background was authoritarian enough that I always held my breath to see if I’d be allowed to watch the films, and flinched a little, wondering if any adults around me had noticed, when Pippi […]

 By Christine Marie Vinciquarra Right from the start, it was very clear to me why Marie Pommepuy & Fabien Vehlmann named their story Beautiful Darkness. That’s exactly what it is, a beautifully illustrated story with an extremely dark plot. What starts out like a typical fairytale, quickly turns into a twisted one. After much thought, […]

Drawn & Quarterly are in the midst of release quite a few diverse graphic novels, all so different, in fact, that they remind us of how vast and all-encompassing the range of comic genres really are. One of the strangest is, by far, Benson’s Cuckoos by Anouk Ricard. Ricard rose to attention with her kids’ […]

By Ed Saul “I had desperately wanted to be a hippie, but now I could see that ship had sailed.” So says Mimi Pond in a beautifully-arranged panel of Over Easy, her comic memoir, while discussing the dawn of that most confusing and terrifying era of Western civilization – the 1970’s. It seems almost as […]

By Ed Saul Rival critics have compared Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoet’s Beautiful Darkness favorably to other works in a “high-concept pitch” format – “it’s Tove Jansson meets Joseph Conrad”, sort of thing. I read those reviews immediately after my first reading of the book, and I have to say that wasn’t my first impression at […]

Louis Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool; The Fantagraphics/Drawn & Quarterly panel is simultaneously not like other panels, yet very much like other panels, but at the same time, not at all like other panels. It’s not like other panels because it’s not held in a cavernous hall filled to the brim with sweaty, rabid fans. […]

And for a look at a different view on the world in September, more thoughtful, less franchise and license-heavy, and less inclined to have a zombie gnawing on your entrails… from Dan Clowes to Robert Crumb to Hunt Emerson to Chris Ware… DRAWN & QUARTERLY NEW YORK DRAWINGS: ADRIAN TOMINE HC (W/A/CA) Adrian Tomine A […]

We’ve been through the big premier boys, we’ve been through the wannabe-big premier boys, now it’s time for the July Solicitations for the artsy fartsy crowd. You know, the publishers who have been around for a while, who started in the direct market, but who are more and more looking to bookstores for this week’s […]
