Praise for Comic Art magazine

The most heartbreakingly idealistic thing I've ever seen.

- R. Crumb.

Comic Art makes life worth living. It's my favorite magazine.

- Mark Frauenfelder, co-founder of BoingBoing.net, and editor-in-chief of Make Magazine.

Each new issue of Comic Art makes my tiny cartoonist heart flutter.

- Matt Groening, cartoonist and creator of The Simpsons.

Comic Art is smart without being academic or smart-ass and beautiful without being flashy. Its deep love for the medium's past and present is so moving it almost makes me optimistic about the future!

- Art Spiegelman, editor of Raw, Little Lit and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus.

Comic Art is the finest publication of its kind. It brilliantly captures and presents both the illustrious past and promising future of the medium, with an eye to detail and production value that is rarely seen.

- Chip Kidd, book cover designer, author of The Cheese Monkeys, and editor of The Art of Peanuts.

Comic Art magazine is the real thing; just plain good; very interesting; of high quality; lovely to look at; pleasant to the touch; aromatically refreshing; intellectually and morally sound; high-minded without being high handed; a sound investment AND mild.

- Gary Panter, the 'King of Punk art', author of the underground comic Jimbo, and set designer for the Emmy Award-winning Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

One of the very few publications about comics that makes me not hate comics. It's always enlightening and filled with surprises, not to mention impeccably, beautifully produced. A necessary and rewarding item for anyone interested in our humble art form.

- Ivan Brunetti, author of Haw and Schizo and editor of the forthcoming book An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories published by Yale University Press.

I like Comic Art more than I liked my own magazine. It's simply the best.

- Daniel K. Raeburn, author of The Imp magazine and Chris Ware, a monograph from Yale University Press.
