| "Kyle's artwork spoils the reader with accessibility and fun - while his writing challenges, teases, and tickles their intellect. He is without debate the best in the graphic novel business. The absolute best." Aaron McGruder, cartoonist, THE BOONDOCKS |
"Kyle Baker's got verve, talent and guts. Plus a nasty wit. Delicious work." Frank Miller, cartoonist, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, 300 |
"Cartoonist
Kyle Baker is just as adept whether he's inking an exquisitely detailed
graphic novel about the Biblical King David or a viciously base, one-panel
hatchet job on President Dubya." THE BOSTON PHOENIX |
"Hot comic-book artist" ROLLING STONE "...One of the centurys greatest comic illustrators." |
"...Artist-writer Kyle Baker renders the Old Testament tale of King David in vivid, demotic language and gorgeous cartoonish drawings that manage to amuse while never undercutting the stirring stories... Sometimes slapstick silly but always true to the biblical narrative, this graphic novel is as elaborately drawn as any major-studio animated film.
"Intricately expressive faces and trenchant dramatic pacing evoke the diabolic slave trade's real horrors." Evan Narcisse, THE WASHINGTON POST |

VARIETY.COM ON THE BAKERS: "Kyle Baker may be too good and too funny for the good of comics. How else to explain the lack of real competition for Bakers humor efforts than that Bakers so good no one wants to compete with him in any way, shape or form? This book is full of short, mostly silent and very funny tales of Bakers life as a father trying to get some rest, convince his kids there arent monsters under the bed, and most frightening of all, taking the brood to the mall to find a gift for his wife. Grade: A" Tom McLean, Variety.com
SPECIAL FORCES "Kyle Baker's graphic novel SPECIAL FORCES (Image, paper, $16.99) reads at first like a nearly straightforward military fantasy, drawn with a peculiar hybrid of hyperrealistic precision and nutty exaggeration. Eventually, though, Baker bares his fangs: The book is the harshest, most serrated satire of the Iraq war yet published."DOUGLAS WOLK, THE NEW YORK TIMES |
