Praise for Eric Drooker:
“[Flood is] a complex, dream-charged vision of alienation in the wet, mean streets of New York City, where primal, natural urges are suppressed in the lonely isolation of crowds. It’s a picture of a soulless civilization headed toward the apocalypse. It’s a poetic and lyrical novel – told virtually without words…Mr. Drooker has discovered the magic of pulling light and life out of an inky sea of darkness.”—Art Spiegelman, The New York Times Book Review
“Strong black-and-white artwork, bent to strange purpose”—Frank Miller
“Drooker’s old Poe hallucinations of beauteous deathly reality transcend political hang-up and fix our present American dreams.”—Allen Ginsberg
“Elegiac, spiritual, and political . . . written in a language that anyone can understand, exploring themes of universal interest, Drooker continues Masereel’s profoundly democratic artwork.”—Time
“With Blood Song, Drooker has not only exhibited his growing skill as a scratchboard artist but has contributed another important work in the genre of wordless comics. Blood Song will shake up readers with a strong social statement in a fine-crafted tale.”—The Comics Journal
