Fascinated by cartooning as a child, Chester Brown (b. 1960 in Montréal, Quebec) set his sights on a career as a comic book artist when he was in his teens. The pioneering and influential cartoonist began self-publishing in 1983 and soon attracted a cult following for his deeply personal comic strips. Brown received the first Canada Council for the Arts grant awarded to his genre, for Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography (2003). Critically and commercially acclaimed for its powerful, minimalist style, the story of the enigmatic Métis leader became the first graphic novel on a Canadian non-fiction best-seller list.
