Hitting the market: Drawn & Quarterly has announced that Farrar, Straus & Giroux will distribute its titles in the U.S. book market beginning in January. Here's Drawn & Quarterly's Chris Oliveros:
 
"We are extremely pleased that a company as venerable as FSG recognizes the literary merit of our titles and the potential in representing our graphic novels to the US book trade. As we publish the best in literary graphic novels and FSG publishes the best of literary fiction, nonfiction, poetry and childrenĀ¹s books, retailers as well readers will benefit from the alliance."
