"For any serious lover of comic books. Doesn’t matter if it’s pulps, superhero’s, independents, underground published, newspaper funnys, manga, european, or anything inbetween. "

"@chrisflores28 Absolutely worth it, it’s fun AND it will blow your mind. It’s not only one of my favorite books, I also used parts of it for both my undergrad art history thesis and my masters thesis in communication design."

"This book is the source of my love and respect for the medium of comics. It's an astoundingly well written and illustrated breakdown of not only the history but the science and art of the comics medium. Fantastic read, one of my favorite books of all time."
Kai Altree
"Arguably one of the most important books about comics EVER. A fantastic read for anyone who wants to get deeper into the medium."
Benjamin Wright-Heuman
"This is an incredibly important and informative book, but at the end of the day, it's a reference book. It's much more entertaining that most reference books, but it's not a book one is likely to return to and read for pleasure on a regular basis."
John Detrick
"A good primer for someone interested in graphic novels but doesn't know where to begin."
