Critics Review
“Thank goodness that [Stanley’s] iconic work has been reprinted for this generation by Drawn & Quarterly. Oh, and the fact that the whole tome’s laid out by comic genius Seth does the publication no harm, either.” –Anthem
“Drawn and Quarterly certainly paid attention to the book-asthree-dimensional-piece-of-art aspect. It’s designed by John Stanley fan Seth … It’s really just a gorgeous-looking book.” –Newsarama
“A bona-fide hoot. ” –Comic Book Resources on The John Stanley Library

His comics have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Best American Comics, and McSweeney’s Quarterly.
