Rilstone "not mad after all" shock


"Andrew Rilstone has written the finest analysis of Watchmen that I have so far read." -- Eddie Campbell

"....One of the best things (if not *the* best) I’ve read on comics this year...probably the best thing I’ve ever read about Watchmen, and one of the best things Rilstone’s ever done."

"The only essay on Watchmen that you will ever need...It's setting off fireworks in my head."

"(Rilstone) has at times reduced me to a state of teeth-gnashing envy. Sometimes he has said things I wish I could have said first, or even as well....It’s like I study every line, every damned line, only for Andrew to come along and point out some fresh angle of perspective that has been there all along. 'But you were looking so hard at the trees, old bean. What about the wood?' "

"Awesome"

"My fave critic ever."


"Incredibly insightful..."

"A long essay about comics..."



Many thanks to everyone who has said nice things.




If you want to read any more of this drivel, then please encourage Andrew by buying him a beer.
