Jeff Lemire

Jeff Lemire (1976) hails from the Canadian province of Ontario. Thanks to his genre work and popularity with both fans and critics, he’s often called the “Stephen King of comics.” His grounded stories, led by Essex County, have earned him comparisons to classics like John Steinbeck or modern authors like Cormac McCarthy. His heroes are often quiet loners, and Lemire captures their inner sadness with just a single shot of an endless cornfield.
