SETH presents his new books:
Bannock, Beans and Black Tea and
Clyde Fans: Book One (Drawn & Quarterly)
Illustrated by Seth,
Bannock, Beans and Black Tea is the autobiography of his father, John Gallant. A gripping and poignant memoir, it recounts one boy's experience of deprivation and poverty growing up in a Prince Edward Island farming village during the Great Depression.
Originally serialized in Seth's famous
Palooka-Ville comics,
Clyde Fans: Book One is the first part of a trilogy that will collect all the
Palooka-Ville stories about brothers and electric fan salesmen, Simon and Abe Matchcard, owners of Clyde Fans.
Come celebrate the launch of these two Seth titles on our Drawn & Quarterly night, and you'll also see Seth present an entertaining multi-media show called "20 brief stories about cartooning".
CHESTER BROWN presents his new book:
Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Biography (Drawn & Quarterly)
Every Canadian school child can tell you the story of Louis Riel and the Red River Rebellion of 1869. To some Louis Riel was one of the founding fathers of a new nation, but to others he was a murderer who nearly tore a country apart. A man so charismatic he was elected to government twice while in exile, Riel took on the army, the government, the Queen of England, and even the Church in the name of his passionate vision of freedom for the people of the prairies. Come see Chester Brown in a multi-media presentation on the creation of his epic on this Canadian legend,
Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Biography.
