Michael DeForge : I’d been wanting to write about a cult for a while, since I kept circling around some of those ideas but never got around to it. DeForge was kind enough to carve time out of his busy schedule to speak to The Beat. Primarily known for his webcomics, DeForge has won multiple awards: the Doug Wright Award in 2010 for Lose and in 2015 for Ant Colony the 2016 Alcuin Society Book Design Award for Big Kids and the 2018 Eisner Award in “Best Graphic Album of Previously Published Work” for Sticks Angelica, Folk Hero. Leaving Richard’s Valley, Toronto-based comics artist and illustrator Michael DeForge’s newest graphic novel, follows a ragtag crew of outcasts who are forced to live in the “toxic” outside after their exile from a cult.
