The annual comics anthology of emerging cartoonists
Drawn & Quarterly Showcase is a new-talent anthology and the only
annual
collection to have the focused visual acumen of the D+Q editor in chief,
Chris Oliveros, who scours the globe for three cartoonists to spotlight
and introduce to North American readers. More often than not, it is the
first time the cartoonists have had the chance to work in full color
with twenty-five pages, and on such a wide-reaching visual platform. The
series is hailed for its consistent quality and for the superior
editorial vision of its short stories, volume after volume. Book
Five features Anneli Furmark (Sweden), Amanda Vähämäki (Finland),
and T. Edward Bak (United States), with cover art by Vähämäki.
Previous
Showcases have featured Kevin Huizenga, Jeffrey Brown, Geneviève
Castrée, Gabrielle Bell, and Nicolas Robel.
