Series

Drawn and Quarterly 01-10 (1990-1992)
Drawn & Quarterly was founded in 1990 by Montrealer Chris Oliveros, at age 23. He was inspired by Raw to publish an arts comics periodical. He borrowed $2,000 from his father to publish the first issue of the magazine. Drawn & Quarterly was the company's flagship anthology during the 1990s.

Louis Riel 01-10 (1999-2003)
Written and illustrated by Chester Brown. The story deals with Métis rebel leader Louis Riel's antagonistic relationship with the newly established Canadian government. It begins shortly before the 1869 Red River Rebellion, and ends with Riel's 1885 hanging for high treason. The book explores Riel's possible schizophrenia - he believed God had named him Prophet of the New World, destined to lead the Métis people to freedom.

Ed The Happy Clown 01-15 (2005-2006)
Written and illustrated by Chester Brown. Ed ran in the eighteen issues of Yummy Fur published by Vortex Comics starting in December 1986. The series switched publishers to Drawn & Quarterly from 1991 until 1994. The Definitive Ed collection was then reprinted in this nine issue series on smaller-sized pages from 2005 to 2006 titled Ed the Happy Clown, with new covers, previously unpublished art and extensive commentary by Brown. About 80 pages - a third of the original Ed material - remains uncollected, including the entire 24-page ending that appeared in issue eighteen.

Underwater 01-12 (1994-1997)
Written and illustrated by Chester Brown. The story is unconventional in that it is told from the perspective of a child who is still acquiring language. The dialogue of the characters is encoded into a "language" that at first appears to be gibberish. As the child matures, the parts of the dialogue start to appear as normal English. The series was unpopular with readers, and Brown gave up on the series after three years, although he has said he may return to it someday. .

Peepshow 01-15 (1992-2024)
Written and illustrated by Joe Matt. Peepshow is an autobiographical comic book series. It offers an unfiltered, often uncomfortable, and darkly humorous look at Matt’s personal life, including his relationships, insecurities, and obsessions - particularly with pornography, cheapness, and nostalgia. Issue 15 published posthumously in 2024 after Matt's untimely death.

Dirty Plotte 01-12 (1991-1998) My Most Secret Desire, Complete Julie Doucet
Written and illustrated by Julie Doucet, it was the first ongoing solo title published by Drawn & Quarterly. Most of the oddball stories were autobiographical, often about the struggles of being a woman and being an alternative cartoonist. Drawn & Quarterly published 4 issues of Dirty Plotte in 1991 (with much of the content being reprints of material that had appeared in an original mini comic), but afterwards new issues were published once per year.
