Michel Rabagliati (b. 1961 in Montréal, Quebec) was in his late 30s and working as a professional graphic designer when he switched gears to pursue his childhood love of comics. The result was an award-winning series of “altered autobiographies” about a middle-class graphic designer named Paul. Firmly rooted in Rabagliati’s home province and acclaimed for their honesty and authenticity, the 10 graphic novels follow the titular character through different stages of his life. Paul à Québec (2009) – later adapted into a movie – is a tender portrayal of Paul and his family as he struggles to cope with his father-in-law’s failing health.
