Reviews

  • Beautiful printing. Bought this one and Blood of the Virgin, recently become a big fan of Sammy Harkham's work.

  • Harkham is one of today's alternative comics giants.

  • A beautiful book. Nicely printed.

  • Harkhams Everything Together is an exceptionally fun read, if not too short. As a collection, there are many stories here; some sharing the same characters, some of a completely different art style entirely, but of all of them, Somersaulting is by far the standout. While a short lived glimpse into the life of a just-graduated high school girl who's wasting away her nights drinking and discovering relationships might not seem up you alley, it really captures your attention and makes you eager to read the rest of the book. You'll be excited when after a few non-related stories, a character makes a return in the next strip. Overall, it's a little pricey for such a short read, but good enough to warent a copy. Pick it up!
