ACME Novelty Library to D&Q?

People have been telling me this was going to happen, but I guess the new Farrar, Straus & Giroux indicates strongly this is a done deal. The next issue of Chris Ware's awards-juggernaut ACME Novelty Library (#17) seems to be going through Drawn and Quarterly. The previous issue was self-published by Ware but otherwise went through Fantagraphics' various organisms -- I received a review copy mailed by Fantagraphics, for instance. The first 15 issues were published by Fantagraphics.

I have no idea why this wouldn't be formally announced before the catalog came out, but maybe there's more than meets the eye or maybe no one wants to make a big deal of it. I'll try to scrape together a more complete story on Monday.

Duelling disclosure: D&Q is an advertiser here; I'm doing a book through Fantagraphics this year.
