Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels

A single-issue celebration of the first quarter-century of the legendary Montreal-based publisher Drawn & Quarterly, this 2015 anthology brings together a who’s-who of the alternative-comics scene. Most prominently associated with Kate Beaton—who contributes writing and art—the book surveys the house’s evolution from a scrappy minicomics outfit to a global force in literary cartooning. It’s a compact but essential document, showcasing the breadth of contemporary cartooning that D&Q championed.
