Seth, George Spratt: (1894–1975)

Here’s a terrific page from a terrific artist and a great graphic novel: George Sprott: (1894–1975), a biography of a fictional Canadian TV personality.

This color page was created specifically for the GN to amplify the story. Sprott was originally serialized in the pages of the New York Times, with each strip its own “story,” and those originals are black and white.

Seth (Gregory Gallant) is one of the most underrated “indie” artists of his generation. His beautifully clean art and his quiet, methodical storytelling (along with a wry sense of humor) are absolutely delightful.
