Reviews for Hellboy´s World: Comics and Monsters on the Margins
"Hellboy's World is really a manifesto for a different kind of comics studies." Confessions of an Aca-Fan "Hellboy's World is written with such joyfulness and panache that I find it a pleasure to page through, again and again. Beautifully designed, bountifully illustrated - all scholarly tomes on comic art should look this good."
