Table of ContentsReviews""" The longtime Dark Horse- and Fantagraphics-published cartoonist Rich Tommaso deserves credit for continuing to find new places to go stylistically."" - Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter ""Rich Tommaso's cartooning possesses an innate and confident snap that grabs the eye and won't let it go. Rich seems to get better with every comic."" - James Sturm, author of Market Day ""The stories created by Tommaso reflect an incredible variety of genres and tones. While many comics creators tend to be pegged for the one thing they do best, Tommaso defies definition in this regard. He regularly tackles a wide array of stories, including horror, crime, thriller, and even funny animals. There's really no guessing what his next project might look like."" - Chase Magnett ""Tommaso's art is skilled and lively, the color covers particularly fine, boasting eye-catchingly original graphic design. His dialogue is snappy, the narration low-key, in contrast to the frantic goings-on, with a nicely turned phrase (""Time is like an infinite sick day for me now..."") here and there.

Having grown up during these same time periods, he's also been able to draw from his own life experiences to elevate and personalize his comics while simultaneously working within those classic genres.
