National Post: Leapin' Louis Riel!; Cartoonist Chester Brown uses the visual style of Orphan Annie to dramatize history Nov 6, 2003: "Louis Riel is one of the most resonant names in Canadian history; Little Orphan Annie is an icon of American popular culture. Although both Riel and Orphan Annie are famous, few would discuss these renowned figures in the same breath. It is part of the peculiar genius of Chester Brown's new book, Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography (Drawn & Quarterly), that it fuses a historical subject with a pop-cultural approach, using the visual language of an Orphan Annie adventure to dramatize a pivotal event in our nation's past.">>>

By Sarrah Young - "What does the name Louis Riel mean to you? If you’re Chester Brown, the name conjures up images of rebellion and organised strife. Louis Riel was the man who led the Métis against the Canadian government in a dispute over land sold to the Canadian government by the Hudson’s Bay Company. This was done without consulting the people who lived there and because of his involvement, Riel was eventually charged with treason and executed.">>>



Andrew Arnold of Time.com reviews THE FIXER "'The Fixer' continues one of the most creative and unique visions in the arts today. Joe Sacco has single-handedly created a media sub-genre: comix journalism. He brings alive the life and world of a funny, friendly, dangerous, mysterious person who seems a pure product of his place.

THE FIXER will be in stores on 11/12/03.
