I Never Liked You

Chester Brown's I Never Liked You is a stark, autobiographical graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, originally released in 1994. This single-issue work distills Brown's adolescence into a raw, minimalist account of social awkwardness, family tension, and unspoken teenage desire. Its unflinching honesty and spare, expressive linework mark it as a landmark of the alternative comics movement, demonstrating the power of the medium for deeply personal storytelling.
