With cartoonists that have been instrumental in defining the literary comics medium for the past 20 years and a willingness to experiment with formats and concepts, Drawn & Quarterly has become one of the most influential art and literary comics publishers in North America.

Back in 1989, Chris Oliveros went in search of artists to contribute to his yet-to-be-published magazine anthology. Oliveros assembled the most esteemed and distinct coterie of cartoonists since the days of Art Spiegelman’s RAW, including Adrian Tomine, Seth, Chester Brown, Lynda Barry, Julie Doucet and Chris Ware.

With the help of some seriously creative minds D+Q has attracted the attention and praise of publications like The New York Times Book Review, the Globe & Mail, The Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Print Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and Time. D+Q has grown from a periodical company to a book publisher with over 20 titles a year and an extraordinary backlist of perennial bestselling titles. Growing more ambitious every year, the publisher takes on new comic books, art books and graphic novels by renowned cartoonists and newcomers from around the globe.
