“"Completely original, you won't find a book like Spy Sealanywhere else on the stands." --Uproxx”

"A Swinging Sixties spy caper in the guise of a Tintin pastiche... Workingwithin the confines of a homage seems beneficial to Tommaso. The story is morestructured and the humor sharper than is typical of him, and despite hisadopting a European ligne claire graphic approach, the funny-animal characterdesigns and the kinetic actions sequences remain recognizably his own. Tommasohas other series currently ongoing (She Wolf, Dark Corridor), but Spy Seal isthe one most deserving of his creative energies.”—Booklist

“Completely original, you won’t find a book like Spy Sealanywhere else on the stands.” —Uproxx

“The benign, simple font, an adherence to color fills instead ofgradients, and an overall devotion to clarity (Tintin’s “Ligneclaire” style translates as “clear line”) make Spy Seal lookmore like a relic that exists inside of Wes Anderson’s head instead of acomic from a mainstream publisher. Fortunately, it is, and it is damndelectable.” —Paste Magazine


"Spy Seal [is placed firmly] in a milieu of fun and levity, and it readslike a throwback to a bygone era of uncomplicated, direct storytelling. It's funin a way so few comics these days are, and that offers readers a particularsatisfaction." —The Onion's AV Club
