Join best-selling Toronto cartoonist Michael DeForge Ant Colony, A Body Beneath at Type Books 883 Queen St. W. for a slideshow presentation and reading from his new DQ book, First Year Healthy.

First Year Healthy opens with a young woman in a small town being released from a hospital. She gets a job, meets a boy, and soon begins to spiral out of control. In a vibrant, otherworldly palette of magentas, yellows, and grays, Michael DeForge brings to life a world whose shifting realities are as treacherous as the thin ice its narrator walks on. First Year Healthy is a parable about mental illness, a folktale about magical cats, and a gorgeous and tragic personal story like nothing in comics.

First Year Healthy will be in stores everywhere January 20th 2015
