Critic Reviews

“"In a mainstream comic book world that often indulges in stereotypes, mostly on the feminine side, Kieth gives us four women who confound stereotypes. They act like people, with sudden heroism contrasted with ugly cowardice, gallows humor mixed with silent pleading. They are, in essence, real. They don't always tell the truth, or act nobly, but they do the best they can. It's this characterization that makes the story so horrifying." - Comic Book Resources "A 2018 reissue of Four Women is very welcome. It's a character based horror story, but one defined by experimentation, both in the telling and via the art, and one that maintains a consistent sense of unease." - The Slings and Arrows”

Kieth first came to prominence in 1984 as the inker of Matt Wagner's Mage, and a year later as the inker of Fish Police. In 1989, he penciled the first five issues (the "Preludes & Nocturnes" story arc) of writer Neil Gaiman's celebrated series The Sandman and collaborated with Alan Grant on a Penguin story in Secret Origins Special #1.
