Drawn and Quarterly Sampler Autumn 2003

A slim, single-issue promotional sampler from the celebrated indie publisher Drawn & Quarterly, this 2003 release offers a curated preview of their autumn lineup. The issue is anchored by a generous selection from Frank King’s classic newspaper strip Gasoline Alley, showcasing the gentle, slice-of-life storytelling that has made the cartoonist a revered figure in the medium. As a free-distribution catalog of D+Q’s upcoming books, it serves as a time capsule of the publisher’s early-2000s sensibility, blending archival reprints with contemporary work. For collectors and fans of the publisher’s literary-comics aesthetic, it’s a compact glimpse into a pivotal era for the house.
