The Granville Street Gallery

A seven-issue series from the mid-1980s, The Granville Street Gallery was an independent, self-published work by Vancouver cartoonist Colin Upton. Known for its raw, observational style, the comic offered a gritty, slice-of-life portrait of the Granville Street area, capturing the city’s street-level culture with a mix of humor and social commentary. It stands as a notable early example of the Canadian alternative comics scene, showcasing Upton’s distinctive voice as both writer and artist.
