“This graphic novel will entertain long-time fans with clever adaptations of familiar works, while providing second language learners and low-level readers with accessible adaptations of Twain’s best known stories.”
— Philip Charles Crawford, Library Media Connection

“Rick Geary's expansive adaptation of “The Mysterious Stranger,” turns Twain’s tale of witch-hunting and Satanic interference in the 1590s into a spare, haunting meditation on God’s indifference. It’s a fantastic piece of work, by one of the medium's underappreciated masters.”
