When the Sweet Tooth TV show was released on Netflix last year, I did a huge round of press, and most of the interviews asked me where I came up with the idea for Gus and Sweet Tooth.
you signed and illustrated my Sweet Tooth volume 1 TBP at a Canada 150 event held at the Windsor Public Library, it's a treasured possession. You were also a genuinely nice guy.
Last year, after several recommendations, I finally gave in and read the first 1 of 3 Sweet Tooth trade. the next day I went to my LCS and bought the second, then a couple days later the finale. Soon I was the one recommending them to others. Since then I've picked up several of your independent self-illustrated books and greatly enjoyed them as well.
Thank you for sharing the backstory and showing us those sketches. I'm looking forward to part 2.
I went through a comics reading hiatus from 2000 to 2012, with two small kids I could not afford comics. Then in 2012, after a serious OCD crisis and anxiety ( I am on of those that have both higher than average ) I started buying comics again. I have seen the title Sweet Tooth gazillions of times but I never bothered because I did not know who Jeff Lemire was. In 2018 I bought myself a kindle fire and there came the digital comics revolution. All of a sudden I had the opportunity to buy comics again . So I started getting the old stuff I liked already and then I started getting into new artists. Bill Willinghan, Brian K Vaughan, Darwyn Coole and Tom King. Then one day ( this day changed my life as another day in 2016 I read Gene Wolfe's Shadow of the torturer ) I bought and read Trilium and I told myself that was pretty good story and the art was great ( I am into all kinds of art but the more cartoony ones are my favorites ) so I read Sweet Tooth vol1. And now look at the Jeff Lemire fanboy here. I actually had bought the digital volumes from comixology but a few months ago I bought the 3 hardcovers. By the way, is there any forum where fans like you and I can discuss Lemire's works and comics in general ? I tried the facebook group but that group seems more silent than a snowy night ( not that I have ever seen snow, because I live in Brazil, not in a jungle, but in Sao Paulo and the weather here is mostly like in Australia ).

Punisher: The End is a one-shot, I had to double check my collection to be sure lol
