“How This Foreword Got Written”

In "How This Foreword Got Written," Chester Brown delivers a surreal, deeply personal tale where Bick and Ed find themselves in a bizarre, body-swapping predicament that upends their lives. With raw, unflinching storytelling and stark, expressive art, Brown explores the disorientation and moral confusion that follow when identity and reality blur—right down to the moment the RCMP arrive at Bick’s door. The cover by Chester Brown perfectly captures the story’s unsettling tone, making this a standout moment in his early, groundbreaking work.
