Founded in 1989 by Chris Oliveros, Drawn & Quarterly is a comic book publishing company that operates in Montreal, Quebec of Canada.

This particular publisher has enjoyed a fair amount of critical praise, and their books have been featured in everything from 'Time' to 'The Globe'.
Their artists and selections come from all over the globe and include such artists as:
