About Drawn & Quarterly

Drawn & Quarterly is a Montreal publisher of graphic novels and comics, founded in 1990. It has published many acclaimed cartoonists from around the world and helped make comics a serious part of literary culture. It also runs its own bookstore on Rue Bernard in Mile End.

The shop suits anyone who loves books, whether you read comics or not. Drop in during a Mile End stroll, browse the shelves, and ask for a recommendation for a teen or a friend who thinks comics are only for kids. A D+Q book makes a thoughtful gift. The house is a proud part of Montreal's literary scene.
