Love and Rockets Reviews

Simply essential...one of the most talented artists our polyglot culture has produced. - New York Times Book Review * American fiction's best kept secret. - Rolling Stone * Expressive and elegant cartooning....Magic, real, and literate - and fun to look at too. Grade: A. - Entertainment Weekly * Quite simply, this is one of the twentieth centuries most significant comic creators at the peak of his form. - Alan Moore, author of Watchmen * A high point in the comics form, conventional in idiom, but not comparable to any strips before it. - The Washington Post
