D&Q authors make Best of 2025 lists: Booklist, The Guardian, Kirkus, NPR, NYPL, Publishers Weekly, WaPo and more!

As we close in on the last few months of the year, we would be remiss if we did not thank the many journalists and librarians who have taken the time to read and review our books. We are absolutely thrilled to see Drawn & Quarterly authors on Best of the Year lists from some of our favourite publications, retailers, and libraries, including Booklist, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, NPR, the New York Public Library, Publishers Weekly, the Washington Post and more!

You can get the rundown on everything we’ve put out in 2025 and what’s still coming down the pipeline here.
