D+Q Puts Their Accountant on Staff

Graphic novel specialists Drawn & Quarterly have hired Jamie Salomon as its controller. Salomon, depicted at left by cartoonist Julie Doucet, had been balancing the D+Q books for several years while working at a Montreal chartered accounting firm. “As D+Q has grown from a comic book company to a book company in the past decade, our financial reporting needs have increased. Jamie has been our most valuable behind-the-scenes player in this process,” said publisher Chris Oliveros in a statement announcing the hire. “Furthermore, his genuine appreciation and knowledge of the comic book medium makes him an integral part of the D+Q team in understanding why we do what we do.”
