Rezensionen

"Laurike in 't Veld's book ... is a welcome and accessible contribution to the field. ... attention to other artists and works, and to the productive possibilities of using kitsch as a category to think through the tensions of genocide graphic novels, makes this an original and laudable advance in comics studies." (Candida Rifkind, Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies Society, Vol. 3 (3), 2019)
