Magnificent illustrations… [Hayes] has done a wondrous job… his visual narrative has an intense, restless pace… here is a ribald beauty you find only rarely between two covers.

At once phantasmagorical and bewitching… the best of his career so far.

Hayes’s green-filtered, stylised illustrations have a breathtaking punch to them.

The Drunken Sailor is an Impressionist hymn to Rimbaud. But Hayes' song is greatly embellished with knowledge... You run the gamut when you read this book.

A bewitching work from one of Britain’s finest graphic novelists.

Flake is a creation that will convince many remaining sceptics about how much you can do with the help of pictures.

A cheerfully nostalgic trip into a north-western English town...and a testament to the powers of salt water and friendship in a crisis.

Flake is immediately and extremely funny, full of dry witticisms and pleasing digressions right from the start... exquisitely drawn in a flat, sharp style... [Flake] rarely fails to raise a smile... This is well worth your time and money - I enjoyed it immensely.

A brilliant, educational piece of observational journalism.

Delisle’s artwork is just stunning and accompanies the tale brilliantly.

Delisle’s genius lies in his ability to simplify convoluted international situations and make them vividly relatable to the reader.

Radtke's life – and the way she beautifully elevates her deeply personal experiences into universal lessons – makes for brilliant, compelling, unforgettable art.

Kristen Radtke leads us through a bleak and beautifully crafted story of heart and heartbreak – creation, connection, decay, and loss. Imagine Wanting Only This is challenging and inspiring.

Writer, illustrator, and editor Radtke’s graphic memoir does something difficult within just a few minimally designed, emotional pages: she transforms the over-studied experience of being a talented artist stuck in that yearning gulf between college’s purpose and life’s demands into something unique and thuddingly real.
