What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Not only is The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn gorgeously illustrated—Vuong’s use of space, color, and the occasional image of an eldritch abomination is impressive to say the least—it is a clever meditation on loss and grief.”—Polygon

“Vuong’s expert storytelling captures the reader’s imagination and tugs on the heart strings … the perfect blend of horror, adventure, fantasy, drama and mystery.”—Comic Book Resources

“A lot of fun to read … there are some profound reflections about death mixed in with giant tentacles and undead soldiers.”GeekDad

“The somber, muted palette matches the moody, mysterious tone of the narrative. The plots unwind slowly, exploring questions of memory and what that means to both the living and those inhabiting the spirit world … Hand this to readers who enjoy supernatural adventures involving bonds between the living and the dead.”School Library Journal

“Every page proves can’t-turn-away wondrous … inspiring longing for more, more, more. Vuong’s art is a full-color spectacle … The first of what will hopefully be many delightful volumes.”Booklist, starred review

“Vuong’s dynamic art recalls Tintin and other rambunctious yet earnest European adventure comics . . . Admirers of Space Boy will fall for this paranormal romp.”—Publishers Weekly
