Review Quotes

"Right from the start you can feel the energy." --Richard Vasseur, First Comics News

"A fun and informative read from cover to cover." --James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review

"Punk was driven by everything from anti-consumerism and non-conformity to anti-authoritarianism, nihilism, and a do-it-yourself ethic that prompted artists, writers, and designers to push all boundaries of self-expression in their search for authenticity. Those principles are reflected in these pages time and again, from the vibrant table of contents down to the selective discography in its closing pages." --Lindsay Pereira, Broken Frontier

"Obviously a passion project, Punk Rock in Comics was eye-opening and educational, and best of all, gave me a slew of new bands and records to check out." --Jason Morehead, My Cultural Diet
