An Interview with Seth

by Bryan Miller

"Writer and artist Seth (born Gregory Gallant) has been an A-list talent in the literary comic book marketplace for a decade. His series Palookaville, which he both writes and draws, is a mainstay in independent comics. His stories, filled with lost, lonely characters searching for meaning, often reaching back into the past, are deeply affecting and almost indescribably weighty. (Imagine a Nicholas Ray film retroactively scored by Elliott Smith.) He’s also notable as a recurring character in his friend Joe Matt’s autobiographical series Peepshow, immortalized as calm and collected, suit-clad, chain-smoking book collector, a foil to Matt’s sloppy, neurotic alter ego."-->>

PALOOKAVILLE - CLYDE FANS CREATOR SETH BY DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN

by Daniel Robert Epstein

"Canadian born cartoonist, Seth, is hands down one of the best comic book creators ever. Its been over ten years since he started his personal comic book tales in his book Palookaville. I call them personal tales because they are not always strictly autobiographical and sometimes not at all. His first Palooka-Ville arc was collected into the trade paperback, It's A Good Life if You Don't Weaken, and was about his search for more information about an obscures New Yorker cartoonist. His latest arc, Clyde Fans was started three years ago and is not finished yet. But that hasn’t stopped his publisher, Drawn & Quarterly, from collecting what has come out into a TPB called Clyde Fans which will be out in July. Clyde Fans is a look at the life of two electric fan salesman who are brothers."-->>



GLOBE & MAIL Book Review Reviews Seth's CLYDE FANS & BANNOCK, BEANS, & BLACK TEA

Canadian cartoonist Seth has quietly joined the ranks of über book designers such as Chip Kidd, having recently designed raconteur Stuart McLean's Vinyl Café Diaries and the much-anticipated, definitive, 25-volume reissue of The Complete Peanuts. Bannock, Beans & Black Tea is a far more personal project: Author John Gallant is Seth's father, and his stories were told to Seth as a child.



WASH POST reviews WAY TO GO and CLYDE FANS

Reviewer Dan Nadel features two D+Q titles in his graphic novel round up for the WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD – WAY TO GO and CLYDE FANS, giving each an enthusiatic thumbs-up.

On WAY TO GO:

"Drawn with a facile, sleek line, Mayerovitch's work would not have been out of place in the New Yorker of old. His images are articulate and warm: Mortality and all of its shadowy jokes should always be this welcoming. "

On CLYDE FANS:

"Seth's drawings are lush, delicate examples of cartoon realism rendered in black ink and luminous blue tones. His version of the world is completely his own -- from figure to object to landscape but, in its details, utterly familiar to a reader. These drawings, combined with Seth's deliberate pacing, give the effect of having the narrator whisper in your ear, making Clyde Fans a wonderfully captivating experience and a masterful use of the medium. "
