Review Quotes

"Landgraf is a lot like Raymond Pettibon with his iconoclasm, love of ink, fascination with folds and deep shadows and his lifelong devotion to the history and traditions of illustration." -- Josh Bayer (Unended)

"New York City Outlaws is (Landgraf's) crowning achievement. It is both an artistic highpoint for Landgraf and also a visual record of a New York City that largely disappeared in the 90s." -- Jim Rugg (Street Angel, Hulk Grand Design)

"Visceral, unregistered testosterone (& estrogen!) bleeds on 1980s newsprint! Looking for issue five? Well, here you go!" -- Chris Pitzer, AdHouse Books
