Paul in the Country

Michel Rabagliati's Paul in the Country (Drawn & Quarterly, 2000–present) is a single-issue, slice-of-life graphic novella that captures a quiet, nostalgic summer in rural Quebec. Written by Rabagliati and Helge Dascher, it follows the semi-autobiographical Paul as he escapes the city for a simpler, more reflective pace. This gentle, warmly observed story is an early, essential chapter in Rabagliati's acclaimed Paul series, showcasing his gift for finding profound meaning in everyday moments.
