"As an examination of the medium, [Adventures in Cartooning is] a supremely worthy spiritual legacy to Scott McCloud's seminal Understanding Comics (1993). As a straight-up graphic adventure, it may be the best of the year.” —Booklist, starred review

“Each tutorial panel contains clever and inventive touches that illustrate the capabilities of the format... This is a volume for kids who love comics, who enjoy an adventure filled with action and humor, are natural-born artists, or who aspire to become comic-book creators. A surefire hit.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Though seemingly simplistic, this multilayered composition is an excellent teaching tool to whet the appetites of aspiring young doodlers and even offers a pleasant twist in an otherwise apparently straightforward plot. ... Entertaining and surprisingly edifying.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Even seasoned comics readers may more fully appreciate the work of their favorite creators after reading this book.” —Shelf Awareness
