EXTRA! EXTRA! PEOPLE SAY THINGS ABOUT OUR STUFF! ON THE INTERNET!
Praise for Ladies & Gentlemen 1
(The Curse of the Were-Hyena and Other Horrible Hybrids, PART I)
"A strong and auspicious opener... This lovingly self-conscious pastiche is a slyly knowing celebration of 19th century melodramatics.... both
distinctive and well-defined in visual identity and style... leaves its audience eager to discover more about its world."
"The artwork is excellent, and captures the feel of a dirty grubby Victorian London perfectly. The story grabs you from the first page, and
continues to flow seamlessly from panel to panel for the rest of the
book... I read it twice before putting it down."
-Rob McIntyre, A Bit Too Old For Comics?
"I loved it... really cool."
-Jimmy Aquino, Comic News Insider
"Ambitious... strong, concise storytelling... I highly enjoyed this."
"Lavishly physical artwork and lettering... beautifully kinetic... interesting cast of characters...
I could go on about it for hours."
-Owen Watts, Owen Watts and The Crazy Fox Machine
Praise for Ladies & Gentlemen 2
(The Curse of the Were-Hyena and Other Horrible Hybrids, PART II)
"A sumptuous Victorian adventure strip with fluid, smoky art, that grasps the hand of the genre and runs until it drops... genuinely lovely."
-Matthew Craig, Forbidden Planet International
"When it’s as obvious as this that the creators are having such a good
time with the concept
how can that infectious sense of fun fail to
transmit itself to the readership as well?"
-Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
"The two of them are clearly having a ball - the amount of attention & effort gone into the composition on some pages is genuinely breathaking... It's a profoundly solid comic and easily one of the best American format small press books I've seen."
-Owen Watts, Owen Watts and The Crazy Fox Machine
Praise for Sleight of Hand
(from The Sorry Entertainer anthology, ed. Simon Moreton & Nick Soucek)
"Richard Worth and Jordan Collver display a beautiful turn of the century
aesthetic [in an anthology] of rare beauty."
- Justin Giampaoli, 13 Minutes
"A short strip that effectively says very little but does it with flair... dear god, it looks gorgeous, and the playing card, double sided motif works a treat."
-Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International
Praise for Weird Planet
"Collver's deeply organic sepia-washed art brings the story to life - every page being imacculately constructed and wildly inventive.... a huge A4 hard-back edition would be glorious. FOR AN EIGHT PAGER? Yes. It's that good.... One of my favourite con purchases of 2013."
-Owen Watts, Owen Watts and The Crazy Fox Machine
