Critics Review
[This] book rewards us with fresh, thoughtful short stories offering a variety of approaches - literal and internal - and perspectives - sometimes playful, often poignant - from talents such as Roz Chast, Gabrielle Bell, Ben Passmore, and Liana Finck. Each, in their way, offer insights on the many diverse modes of art appreciation: aesthetic, social, personal, etc. Truly praiseworthy is the book’s ability to inspire and incentivize readers to experience and engage with gallery works as well, and bring back their own stories.–Michael Dooley “The Comics Journal”
Super fun.–Christopher Borrelli “The Chicago Tribune”
Twenty-five graphic artists bring the Museum of Modern Art in New York to life in this comics anthology.–Gareth Harris “The Art Newspaper”
