'Crucifix ... argues that the top notch of comic art today, perhaps some lower notches as well, has become a history machine at large. The case for comic masters as simultaneous comic historians aka archivists of the apparently obscure pulp past, is a strong one.' Paul Buhle, Comics Grinder 'Crucifix's work more than fulfills the objective he sets himself ... It is a very well planned, executed and organized work.' Enrique del Rey Cabero, Cuadernos de Comic 'It is a compliment to [this book] that it highlights such profound issues at such a timely moment in the history of comics, I struggle to think of a book that has made me think about my drawing practice as much as it has made me think about comics history. I would therefore recommend this book as essential and deserving of the widest possible readership.' Gareth Brookes, Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics
