World Record Holders

Guy Delisle brings his signature deadpan travelogue style to the pages of World Record Holders, a Drawn & Quarterly series launched in 2022. This single-issue comic, translated by Helge Dascher and edited by Rob Aspinall, collects quirky, real-world stories of obscure record-breaking feats. Delisle’s clean, observational art and wry humor turn these oddball achievements into a charming, understated meditation on human ambition.
