Reviews
I’ve always believed that comics have the power to evoke any emotion and any idea, and Dale Jacobs clearly feels the same. This is a wonderful exploration of the emotional power of the medium."" - Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County and Sweet Tooth ""When Dale Jacobs looks back on what a single year of comics reading reveals about a lifetime of his mother’s love, the results are as poignant as they are critically provocative. Brilliantly conceived, On Comics and Grief makes space for us, as scholars and enthusiasts, to explore how the aims of our public work are inescapably shaped by our most personal experiences."" - Qiana Whitted, University of South Carolina, author of EC Comics: Race, Shock, and Social Protest
