An influential leader in the underground comic book movement, Seth (the pen name of Gregory Gallant, b. 1962 in Clinton, Ontario) spent much of his youth drawing comics and creating an inner fantasy world “where things were much more pleasant.” He attended the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University) and worked as a commercial artist before launching his Palookaville comics in 1991. Over the last 20 years of its run, the series told the story of two brothers struggling with the gradual demise of their family’s electric-fan business. Introspective and tinged with yearning for an earlier time, it was published as the award-winning graphic novel Clyde Fans in 2019.
