Editorial Reviews

Review

“[...] This is a superb introduction to the work of an extraordinary, eccentric and very literary cartoonist.”
- Publishers Weekly

“[T]he graphic equivalent to the fabulism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel laureate.”
- The Times [London]

“A high point in the comics form, conventional in idiom, but not comparable to any strips before it.”
- The Washington Post
