Recenzje

Gary Panter is deeply good, wise, and humble, despite possessing an inimitable sense of line and color, an extraterrestrial imagination, and a direct pipeline to his kid self. I d say he was my role model if I could only aspire that high. Luc Sante

Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise is a Panter essential, a comics game changer, and one of my absolute favorites of his many mind-altering masterpieces. Punk rock becomes a symphony, panels blend and create an abstract pool, both shocking and refreshing. Leslie Stein

Is Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise another mind-blowing, oversized masterpiece from the legendary ink-spattered Gary Panter? I say yes. And I also say: Collect Them All! Matt Groening

[Gary Panter s paradise] may be hectic and gross, but it s also lively and comic and kinetic and crawling with ideas. . . [Jimbo is] a reminder, too, that late twentieth-century American culture was so rich even its dystopian nightmares were feasts. Jackson Arn, Art in America
