About Éditions Pow Pow

Éditions Pow Pow is an independent comics publisher in Montreal, founded in 2010. It prints bold graphic novels by Quebec and international artists, with a strong eye for drawing styles that stand out. Its books range from personal stories to humour and stranger, more experimental work.

Pow Pow suits comics readers who want something beyond superheroes, and anyone curious about Quebec's lively bande dessinée scene. Look for its titles at independent bookstores and at comics festivals in Montreal and Québec City. A graphic novel is a good gift for a teen or an adult who says they do not read much. The house is a small, local Montreal press.
