Mr. Jean by Dupuy & Berberian Drawn & Quarterly’s Free Comic Book Day comic spotlights the work of legendary French cartoonists Dupuy & Berberian, and their popular character Mr. Jean. This comic is published as a preview of two new books D+Q will publish this spring, Get A Life and Maybe Later. North American readers were first introduced to Mr. Jean in the Drawn & Quarterly anthology, and for the past decade it has been one of the most popular features in the book. Mr. Jean is a typical everyman — a scholar who fancies himself a man of letters, a nostalgist whose memories carry a weight few can understand; a lover whose heart knows the greatest of burdens. Melancholic yet joyful reflections on past loves, favorite authors, marriage, and fatherhood are laid out in a breezy, comic style. B&W, ??pgs.........................FREE
