“The Loxleys and the War of 1812 is not the first comic to blend history, education and adventure, but it is by far the best that I have ever encountered.”
– Dr Chris Murray, Lecturer in Comics Studies, University of Dundee
“I am thrilled to see such impressive levels of quality employed in enabling others to relive important history. Entertaining and educational, this book deserves awards. But more than that, it deserves to be read.”
“A deeply moving, informative, even-handed and intensely exciting tale of ordinary people moved to defend themselves against greed and aggression set against the backdrop of possibly the most ineptly handled, poorly executed war in history.”
– Win Wiacek, Now Read This

– John Freeman, Down the Tubes
