“[Turtle Guitar is] a gorgeous tale of a farmer tending his dying, barren land who discovers a turtle whose song is so beautiful it can bring life to dead earth. A simple and slight tale but the artwork is just spectacularly good (rather reminiscent of Maurice Sendak I thought).” –Forbidden Planet International
Incredibly complex and detailed art; lush colours and intricate, complicated backgrounds populated with simply drawn creatures of varying degrees of strangeness. [Where Grows the Bitter Herb] looks a damn sight better than most comics from the big boys. But once you get beyond how nice the book looks superficially, open it up and be amazed at how good it is as a comic. –FICTIONS
