Hellboy's World is really a manifesto for a different kind of comics studies. Confessions of an Aca-Fan

"""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."" -- Charles Hatfield LA Review of Books Quite simply, a masterpiece of loving attention and lively interaction with the works under study. More than that: a constellation of ideas that bear on comics in general, art and culture at large, and the very act (or as Bukatman says, the adventure) of reading itself. , -- Charles Hatfield The Comics Journal ""All will come away from this New York City volume with newfound love for the beguiling, legendary, volatile town...an engaging and enlightening read for anyone who loves New York City, creative scholarship, and top-notch graphic design."" -- Melissa Wuske Foreword Reviews"
