 Chester Brown facts

• Brown has gone through several stylistic and thematic periods
• He gained notice in alternative comics circles in the 1980s for the surreal, scatological Ed the Happy Clown serial
• After bringing Ed to an abrupt end, he delved into confessional autobiographical comics in the early 1990s and was strongly associated with fellow Toronto-based cartoonists Seth and Joe Matt, and the contemporary autobiographical comics trend
• Two graphic novels came from this period: The Playboy (1992) and I Never Liked You (1994)
• Surprise mainstream success in the 2000s came with Louis Riel (2003), a historical-biographical graphic novel about rebel Métis leader Louis Riel
• Paying for It (2011) drew controversy as a polemic in support of decriminalizing prostitution
• Brown draws from a range of influences, including monster and superhero comic books, underground comix, and comic strips such as Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie
• His later works employ a sparse drawing style and flat dialogue
• Rather than the traditional method of drawing complete pages, Brown draws individual panels without regard for page composition and assembles them into pages after completion
• Since the late 1990s Brown has had a penchant for providing detailed annotations for his work and extensively altering and reformatting older works
