An Interview with Cartoonist Jeff Lemire
Detail of a frame of Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth.
Jeff Lemire is a self-taught Toronto cartoonist who did the seemingly impossible: he worked diligently at learning his craft, self-publishing his idiosyncratic work for many years, and then submitted a coming-of-age graphic novel to Top Shelf that the American comics company actually agreed to publish. Since then, his graphic novel trilogy Essex County has won widespread acclaim and many awards both north and south of the border. His new work, Sweet Tooth, is published by Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics.
Jeff will be appearing at TCAF May 8 and 9. He recently spoke with Torontoist’s comics columnist, Dave Howard.
