Jimbo

Praise

“Gary Panter is deeply good, wise, and humble, despite possessing an inimitable sense of line and color, an extraterrestrial imagination, and a direct pipeline to his kid self. I’d say he was my role model if I could only aspire that high.” —Luc Sante

“[Panter’s manifesto] was a call to arms of sorts, mixing the avant garde and low culture, the outsiders and the mainstream, to make something new within the prevailing system…Jimbo, complete with spiky hairdo, is credited by many, including Groening, as an inspiration for Bart Simpson.” —Larry Ryan, The Guardian 

“Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise is a Panter essential, a comics game changer, and one of my absolute favorites of his many mind-altering masterpieces. Punk rock becomes a symphony, panels blend and create an abstract pool, both shocking and refreshing.” —Leslie Stein

“Is Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise another mind-blowing, oversized masterpiece from the legendary ink-spattered Gary Panter? I say yes. And I also say: Collect Them All!” —Matt Groening

“[Gary Panter’s paradise] may be hectic and gross, but it’s also lively and comic and kinetic and crawling with ideas. . . [Jimbo is] a reminder, too, that late twentieth-century American culture was so rich even its dystopian nightmares were feasts.” —Jackson Arn, Art in America
