In this blazing graphic novel . . . there are endless subtleties, taken from the historical record when it's available, invented with the lightest touch when it's not—and, somehow, no resolution at all. Not after more than a hundred years, thousands of singers, and likely thousands more to come."
—Greil Marcus, legendary rock critic and historian, Interview Magazine

“As a work of scholarship as well as a roaring good tale, Stagger Lee is one of the finest graphic novels of the year. Grade: A”
—Entertainment Weekly
