A generous production for fans ... Profusely illustrated ... Despite some clunky prose, the book’s lavish trove of behind-the-scenes lore and Lemire’s unbridled energy are capable of inspiring budding cartoonists.
Lavishly illustrated ... Lemire describes his rise to alt-comics renown in conversational prose, skimping somewhat on the details of his personal life ... The illustrations comprise a treasure trove of comic art ... A delightful testament to the rewards of not compromising one’s vision.
