Ashes

Praise

“Ortiz’s classic cartoon art style lends itself well to the wacky and surprising elements of his road trip story, while the characters’ reasons for growing apart and coming back together feel true. Ortiz’s English debut will be perfect for fans of Guy Delisle’s work.” —Booklist

“The pages…set an easygoing visual rhythm appropriate to the characters’ affably rambling adventure. This laid-back, sneakily smart charmer should garner Ortiz a new audience.” —Publishers Weekly

“Subtle, lyrical, friendly and funny… An adventure paced like a madcap movie plot, with underlying minor chords.” —Library Journal

“A clear contender for best graphic novel of the year.” –IGN

“I’m not sure I could find fault with Ashes if I tried. It was a wonderful reading experience and I’ll be looking forward to Ortiz’s next offering.” –Biff Bam Pop!

“However you describe it, this is one of the most unique graphic novels I’ve had the pleasure to read and I recommend it to everyone.” –Kabooooom!

“Amidst all the comedy and chaos, the story of three old friends reuniting for a purpose hits a sweet spot in our hearts.” –Perfect Turd Podcast

“Funny, emotional, and bursting with adorable monkey shenanigans, Ashes is a charming road trip story about changing friendships.” –The Library Ladies
