"Jeff Smith's "Bone" is an incredible read, suitable for kids and adults alike. Gotta love the Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures and their passion for quiche!"
"Divorce is hard on everyone, but sometimes it makes for a damn fine comic. Like a rich photo album, this is one "Loony" cartoon you can meditate on for a long time."
"Daniel Clowes: you know him from "Ghost World" but this book is, let's face it, better. Personally, I like "David Boring" best of all, but what do I know."
"This book is 100% the result of drug use. No dialogue, just pics. Dreamy, hallucinogenic, symbolic. Cats, dogs, demons, chickens; this is a cornucopia of weirdness."
"Alison Bechdel is a Dyke to Watch Out For. A queer family memoir of lesbian and gay life, chock full of literary allusions, set in a funeral parlour. Fun! House!"
"Canadian! Moody! Nostalgic! Seth seeks "Kalo", an imagined artist from the 40s/50s whose life is a mystery. Why cope with today when you can wallow in yesterday? This is Seth's main thesis (in life)."
"Winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this harrowing tale of survival during WWII is told with the Nazis as cats and Jews as mice. Maybe the most important comic ever. A must-read."
"Political journalism meets comics. Sacco gives a human face to the Palestine/Israeli conflict. There is anger and violence in the Middle East, but beauty in this book."
"The story of a girl coming of age in Iran during the Revolution. From Michael Jackson and jeans to taking the veil and her family's objection to the new regime, to exile - a poignant, funny tale."
"Ray Olson said it best, "Vulgar but lovable". This is 5 years of Kochalka's life, told in simple lines, holding nothing back. Comic conventions, bathroom trips, everything. Samuel Pepys meets Peanuts."
