The Sculptor

A New York Times Bestseller

"Scott McCloud's The Sculptor is the best graphic novel I've read in years. It's about art and love and why we keep on trying. It will break your heart." --Neil Gaiman

"McCloud is a master of pacing; he compresses and expands time through the size and arrangement of his images, building to a surprise wallop at the end."--LA Times

"McCloud is engaging when he's addressing the difficulties faced by the artist in society, but when he gets to show two fetching young city dwellers falling for each other? That's when he really comes home. David's relationship with Meg, a comely bike messenger, is everything a love story should be: inexorable and ill-omened, plangent and astringent." --NPR

"This inventive and touching love story is compelling proof that McCloud can walk the walk as well as talking the talk." --The Gaurdian

"The fluidity of McCloud's visual narrative carries us along with a sweep impossible to duplicate in prose, and, through it its climax, the story's commitment to its harsh, inevitable, but ultimately sublime outcome qualifies this as a work of stunning, timeless graphic literature." --Booklist, starred review

"McCloud, in this gloriously romantic graphic novel, doesn't just define a genre--he exemplifies it." --Publishers Weekly

"An outstanding achievement, extraordinarily moving and memorable."
--Library Journal
