"Business as usual for a publication that was treating the cultural significance of comics as a known fact decades before graphic novels were making the bestseller list."–Noel Murray, The AV Club
"…with over 600 pages of nerding out on comics! In this issue, TCJ gives a heartfelt farewell to Maurice Sendak, featuring his final interview, a comic strip tribute by Art Spiegelman, and various essays on his work…an investigation of R Crumb’s legal battles concerning his famous “keep on truckin’” cartoon, and a touching tribute to the late Dylan Williams." –Jade, D&Q Bookstore
