Trade Review"A storybook style that entrancingly depicts deep emotions with its use of stark, macabre colors, harsh shading, and darkly cartoonish faces." — Publishers Weekly“Men at Sea
is one of the most striking collections of short works in comics seen in some time…. This is a virtual treasure trove for those who love art, literature, and history.” — Comics Grinder"Riff Reb’s is a truly remarkable storyteller; his artwork is timeless and evocative and his skills at writing easily match it. [...] Strange and beautiful in equal measure, this is a fine example of what can be done with the medium of the graphic novel." — Hellbound.ca
