About the Graphic Novelists issue

This set of six stamps – the second in a two-part series (the first was issued in 2024) – pays tribute to some of Canada’s most talented and influential graphic novelists – Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas.

These stamps – featuring an acclaimed novel by each author – show the main characters engrossed in their own stories through original illustrations created exclusively for this issue.

About Bryan Lee O’Malley

Cartoonist Bryan Lee O’Malley (b. 1979 in London, Ontario) based the six graphic novels in his wildly popular Scott Pilgrim series (2004-10) on his life at the time. The cult hit – a quirky, action-packed love story about a young slacker in a Toronto garage band who sets out to defeat his new girlfriend’s evil exes – spawned a major motion picture, a video game and an animated series. Of French-Canadian and Korean descent, O’Malley uses a drawing style reminiscent of Japanese anime and manga in the award-winning series, which kicked off with Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life (2004).

About the design

The front of the Official First Day Cover features a photograph of the cover of Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life, which shows a defiant Pilgrim pointing forward with one arm and the other hand pulled back in a fist.

The front also includes the text “Graphic Novelists” and the Bryan Lee O’Malley stamp, cancelled in London, Ontario – O’Malley’s birthplace.

The stamp is an original drawing by O’Malley of Scott Pilgrim lying on his stomach, casually reading his own story. The cancel image is of an open graphic novel.

The back features a photograph of a page from the book, along with a short text on O’Malley and Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life.
