Description

“It has the thoroughness of a history book yet reads with the personalised vision of a singular.” –Time

Chester Brown reinvents the comic-book medium to create the critically acclaimed historical biography Louis Riel, winning the Harvey Awards for perfect writing and perfect graphic novel for his compelling, meticulous, and dispassionate retelling of the charismatic, and most likely insane, nineteenth-century Métis leader. Brown coolly documents with dramatic subtlety the violent rise up at the Canadian prairie led by Riel, who a few regard a martyr who died within the name of freedom, even as others imagine him a treacherous murderer.
