12.17.03: Vancouver's Georgia Straight Reviews Louis Riel & Acme Novelty Library

The Vancouver Weekly The Georgia Straight reviewed two D+Q graphic novels in their 2003 Holiday books round-up.

John Byrne states that LOUIS RIEL is told with "masterful pacing" and that "Canada's history unfolds here with an orderly inevitability, engrossing and...enriching."

Byrne notes that the ACME NOVELTY DATEBOOK has "first appearances by the entire Jimmy Corrrigan cast, and a persistent drift toward the flat architectural drawing style and desaturated palette that helped give Corrigan its emotional heft."



12.17.03: Boston Phoenix Reviews Louis Riel & Acme Novelty Datebook

From the Boston weekly the Phoenix, reviewer Mike Milliard takes an in-depth look at this year's graphic novels including Chester Brown's LOUIS RIEL and Chris Ware's ACME NOVELTY DATEBOOK.

"Another new title from Montreal’s Drawn & Quarterly comes from Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown. Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography ($24.95) is exactly what it says it is: the starkly told story (originally serialized over 10 issues into a book) of a crucial figure in Canada’s history — yet one whom most Americans have probably never heard of. It’s a credit to Brown’s plainspoken artistry and flair for narrative that it’s a page-turner till the end.>>>"

Entertainment Weekly reviews James Sturm's THE GOLEM's MIGHTY SWING just in time fot the book's new printing! Earning an A-, review Tom Sinclair states "Sturm's prose is as elegantly understated as his line work."
