The collection highlights signature pieces by Chester Brown, Joe Matt, Joe Sacco, Julie Doucet, and Seth, among many others, offering a panoramic view of the house's evolution from a scrappy Montreal indie to an internationally respected graphic novel imprint.
"Kate Beaton delivers a sharp, self-aware satire in 'No Problem,' a story that captures the absurdity of national stereotypes with her signature wit and precise line work. Drawn & Quarterly celebrates its quarter-century milestone with this standout piece, showcasing Beaton’s full artistic control as writer, artist, inker, and letterer. The cover, a clever collaboration by Tom Gauld, sets the tone with its deadpan humor and iconic visual punch."
In this reimagined myth, Callisto’s tale unfolds with quiet dread and dark humor as she finds herself caught between divine desire and mortal consequence. Written by a standout voice in contemporary cartooning and illustrated with striking, expressive art, the story follows her transformation with a mix of sorrow and surreal wit.
In "The Offering," a surreal and haunting story drawn from a dream, Julie encounters a male friend in a distant city where intimacy takes a shocking, unexpected turn. The moment unfolds with quiet dread and strange tenderness, as the boundaries of trust, body, and desire blur in a way that lingers long after the page ends.
In this sharp, one-page satire from *Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning*, a group of Canadians, incensed by American mockery, find themselves disarmed when the President greets them with unrelenting politeness—turning their fury into awkward compliance. The story’s humor hinges on a single, perfectly timed moment of cultural clash and unexpected diplomacy.
