Chris Cilla's Heavy Hand

 "There's been a lot of talk in recent years about comics-- what they are, what they aren't: "literary", "Art", etc etc. That's all fine, but sometimes we get books like "The Heavy Hand" by cartoonists like Chris Cilla, and all of that talk is rendered moot--  this book is a ridiculously potent distillation of Cilla's singular comic book worldview: strange, dark, thick, big-nosed, slightly nightmarish and totally immersive-- this is PURE COMICS, the real deal. I've long suspected that Chris Cilla is one of the best cartoonists around, and now the proof is here, for all to see. I know I will not read a better comic this year (and maybe not this decade). "The Heavy Hand" is a fucking triumph." - Zak Sally
