General info :
Drawn & Quarterly is the business name of Drawn & Quarterly Books, Inc. / Livres Drawn & Quarterly Inc., a publishing company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, specializing in comics.
It was founded in 1989 by Chris Oliveros.
It publishes primarily comic books, graphic novels and comic strip collections. The books it publishes are noted for their artistic content, as well as the quality of printing and design.
The name of the company is a pun on "drawing", "quarterly", and the practice of hanging, drawing and quartering. Initially it specialized in underground and alternative comics, but has since expanded into classic reprints and translations of foreign works.
Drawn and Quarterly was the company's flagship quarterly anthology during the 1990s.

It is currently the most successful and prominent comics publisher in Canada, publishing well-known comic artists such as Lynda Barry, Kate Beaton, Marc Bell, Chester Brown, Daniel Clowes, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Mary Fleener, Joe Matt, Shigeru Mizuki, Rutu Modan, Joe Sacco, Seth, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Adrian Tomine, Michael DeForge, Brecht Evens and Chris Ware.
In 2006, Drawn and Quarterly began publishing the Moomin comic strips of Finnish writer and artist Tove Jansson, in book format, in the series Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip.
Drawn & Quarterly has a strong reputation in the comics community and its anthologies have won a number of Harvey Awards.
