Drawn & Quarterly has acquired world English rights to three Lynda Barry’ titles: The! Greatest! Of! Marlys!, The Good Times Are Killing Me, and One! Hundred! Demons!

The titles were originally published between 1998 and 2002 by Sasquatch Books of Seattle, WA. D&Q will publish new hardcover editions of the three titles starting in August with an expanded edition of The! Greatest ! Of! Marlys!

Eight-year-old Marlys Mullen lives in a trailer park with her teenaged sister Maybonne, her younger brother Freddie, and their mother. The offbeat Marlys is the center of all sorts of drama as she interacts with family members, neighbors, and classmates. The 224-page 8.5” x “10 hardcover has an MSRP of $21.95.

“To have these titles on the D+Q list is an honor. Lynda is a singular artist in that her prose is just as rewarding as her comics, and in this regard, she really has no equal,” said Peggy Burns, Publisher and Acquiring Editor. “I think the best example of Lynda’s prowess as a cartoonist is in her four-panel comics, where she manages to pack the emotion and humor of a complete story in just four drawings.“
