Industry Reviews

"It may just be the blueprint for the very future of the comics industry."--Library Journal
'Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics is a manifesto, and an audacious one, irritating as the grain of sand which may one day produce a pearl. It will provoke a lot of arguments, it will make a lot of people think, and it may ultimately change the world a little--which is, after all, what a manifesto is for."--Neil Gaiman
