Vastly entertaining.

It’s a book with an expert command of an abhorrent style – and in this is its substance.

This beautiful, moving book isn’t only about what it is like to be too much alone; to turn its almost wordless pages is briefly to replicate the experience. The deafening silence of its frames are at moments as crushing as lead… This is a wonderful book, and I want everyone to read it. Its emotional and visual economy is extraordinary, Gijsemans showing such (precocious) daring when he devotes six, nine, even 12 frames to the smallest ceremonies… His drawings, washed out but somehow lush, too, are so tender and telling.

Hubert is a brave and emotional piece of storytelling… Created with amazing care and stunning empathy…. Hubert’s movements, mannerisms and characteristics also unfold beautifully… Repeat viewings let you pore over the pictures to see the subtlety of Gijsemans’s touch, which can squeeze more into a panel than can be explained in a hundred words. It’s a beautiful story, beautifully told.

Does an excellent job of representing both paintings and the buildings which house them. His interior and exterior work is highly skilled, and he has a talent for short runs of panels that zoom in on details of sculptures and paintings, as well as architectural features… A curiously meditative effect, like a series of snapshots of Hubert’s life… This is an original and distinctive work, undeniably beautiful and thought provoking.

A book about loneliness in the big city that comes with some of the most delicately gorgeous illustrations I’ve seen in years.

One of the most interesting comic-book artists currently working in Britain and almost impossible to categorise

The next hot ticket could be British artist Philippa Rice, whose marvellously inventive blogs My Cardboard Life and Soppy have won her fans across the world

McGuire adds lavish color and some plot, but he preserves the captivating, uncanny sense of love, anger and tragedy flying across the centuries while staying in one place.

One of the most engaging graphic novel experiments in book form I've ever seen

Here heightens our awareness of how much has gone before and is still to come

Rarely does a conceptual work seize the emotions like Here. Every moment seems insignificant compared with the massive sweep of time, and yet the most trivial actions take on an aching poignancy

Almost overwhelmingly poignant. His masterful sense of time and the power of the mundane makes this feel like the graphic novel equivalent of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life

Completely wonderful

You begin to appreciate McGuire's extraordinary command of history and pacing . . . the non-chronological arrangement seems faithful to how consciousness really works

Mixing brilliant images with witty captions… Clever, funny and shocking work.

Fleming is a gifted illustrator with a sharp sense of humour... I read it any time I have a bad day

Characteristically witty and well-observed

Jacky Fleming…is brilliantly, mordantly funny and extremely clever, and these are her finest drawings yet… The book is savagely funny and wonderfully constructed, so that you start off giggling uncontrollably but then grow quieter at each successive misogynistic shocker… There isn’t a man, woman or child who wouldn’t benefit from spending time with this.

Jacky Fleming nails it with her razor-sharp observational writing and drawing in this very funny and fresh take on women in history. Fleming is a genius but with normal hair

Highly original and very funny. Takes history and turns it upside down, adding generous dollops of wit and charm

Ferociously funny
