Bundled Extra: D&Q Picks Up Key Back Catalog Works

image

On Friday, Drawn and Quarterly announced they've acquired reprint rights to four solid-performing books featuring key comics authors. They are:

* Blankets, Craig Thompson, softcover and hardcover, Fall 2015
* Was She Pretty?, Leanne Shapton, softcover, Winter 2016
* How To Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less, Sarah Glidden, softcover, Fall 2016
* Spaniel Rage, Vanessa Davis, softcover, Spring 2016

I would say all of those books have sales life, significantly so in a couple of cases, and all potentially fit into future publishing plans. Thompson to my memory hasn't announced a book to follow his Scholastic all-ages book this year, Space Dumplins, and Glidden's reprint will support her new book at D&Q also due sometime in the next 24 months.
