Jeet Heer is a prominent Canadian journalist and author, widely recognized for his insightful commentary and sharp criticism of political comics. Over the years, Jeet has contributed thought-provoking pieces to major publications such as The National Post, The New Yorker, and The Paris Review, establishing himself as a respected voice in literary and political circles. On social media, Jeet has carved out a unique space, often describing himself as a “twitter essayist,” a title that fits well given his engaging presence and impressive following of over 220,000 users. Before rising to public prominence, Jeet pursued academic interests at York University in Toronto, where he worked on his doctoral thesis. In 2019, a joyful milestone came into Jeet’s life when he and his wife Robin welcomed their first daughter, Bella—a moment that added a new chapter to Jeet’s personal journey. Through his writing and online influence, Jeet continues to shape conversations across journalism, culture, and politics.
Back in 2013, he released a book titled In Love with Art: Francoise Mouly’s Adventures in Comics with Art Spiegelman, which offered an insightful look into the world of comic art. He really delved deep into the creative journey, and through his writing, he highlighted not only the artistic evolution but also the personal dynamics behind the scenes. It was clear that he had a strong appreciation for the subject, and in many ways, he brought overlooked stories to light. In fact, when you think about how he framed the narrative, it’s evident that he approached the project with both passion and precision. Over the years, he has continued to be recognized for this work, and quite rightly so—because in 2013, he didn’t just publish a book; he shared a meaningful chapter in the history of comics.
