"The subtle inter-weaving of Jeff Lemire's Essex County Trilogy is brilliant and constantly surprising. This heartfelt piece of graphic literature surpasses its form to stand as an enduring example of the finest in Canadian literature." - from the introduction by Darwyn Cooke "Essex County is a tremendous achievement. "Jeff Lemire's Essex County trilogy represents one of the most remarkable recent achievements in indie comics: three interlocking graphic novels about the mysteries and melancholy of a small Canadian farming community, rendered in a distinctive style and turned out surprisingly quickly." - The AV Club Lemire infuses his characters with vivid details that make them burst to life." - George Gene Gustines, The New York Times This critically-acclaimed graphic novel was recently chosen as one of Canada Reads’ Top 5 Essential Canadian Novels of the Decade! It is also the winner of the American Library Association’s Alex Award, the Doug Wright Award, and the Joe Shuster Award.
