PositiveThe Guardian (UK)There’s wit and realism in the panels and art. It’s dynamic and clear, and the people seem less like caricatures than in Palestine ... The skin tone of all of the protagonists is dark, and the shading is done not by cross-hatching, but by parallel horizontal lines. Once I noticed it, it became distracting, like TV interference on every character’s face, and I couldn’t unsee it. This may seem like a pathetically trivial point, but comics are a visual medium ... In an era when long-form journalism is under pressure, and political analysis filleted to morsels, Sacco’s work is a lifeline.

RaveThe Guardian...a good writer can make any subject thrilling. Davis is a very good writer, and my historical animosity – possibly fear – of engaging with immunology was swept away by his assured, unpretentious style. He is a consummate storyteller ... We should all pay more attention to understanding the barricades that evolution has provided us with, that we have learned to train, because this war is endless. The Beautiful Cure is a worthy guide.
