D+Q presents the latest anthology of new comics talent from around the
world.
D+Q publisher Chris Oliveros started the company by publishing a
quarterly magazine of the world's best comics talent, which over the
years became an award-winning deluxe coffee-table anthology that
featured cartoon classics of yesteryear, such as Gasoline Alley, and
today's French comics superstars Dupuy & Berberian. Fourteen years
later, Oliveros noticed an explosion of new talent from around the
globe, so he decided to combine two of the things he does
best-publishing anthologies and nurturing talent. The result is the
Drawn & Quarterly Showcase, which is one of the most exciting outlets
for readers to find new comics talent.
Book Three features three cartoonists from around the world: Genevieve
Castrée from Canada, Matt Broersma from England, and Sammy Harkham from
the United States, whose previous graphic novella, Poor Sailor, was
excerpted in the David Eggers-edited Best American Nonrequired Reading
2004.
