1st printing. Story and art by Chester Brown. Chester Brown reinvents the comic-book medium to create the critically-acclaimed historical biography Louis Riel, winning the Harvey Awards for best writing and best graphic novel for his compelling, meticulous, and dispassionate retelling of the charismatic, and perhaps insane, nineteenth-century Métis leader. Brown coolly documents with dramatic subtlety the violent rebellion on the Canadian prairie led by Riel, who some regard a martyr who died in the name of freedom, while others consider him a treacherous murderer. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.
