| "Kyle's artwork spoils the reader with accessibility and fun - while his writing challenges, teases, and tickles their intellect. He is without debate the best in the graphic novel business. The absolute best."
Aaron McGruder, cartoonist, THE BOONDOCKS |
"Kyle Baker's got verve, talent and guts. Plus a nasty wit. Delicious work."
Frank Miller, cartoonist, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, 300 |
"Cartoonist
Kyle Baker is just as adept whether he's inking an exquisitely detailed
graphic novel about the Biblical King David or a viciously base, one-panel
hatchet job on President Dubya."
THE BOSTON PHOENIX |
"Hot comic-book artist" ROLLING STONE "...One of the century’s greatest comic illustrators."

| KING
DAVID
"...artist-writer Kyle Baker renders the Old Testament tale of King David in vivid, demotic language and gorgeous cartoonish drawings that manage to amuse while never undercutting the stirring stories... Sometimes slapstick silly but always true to the biblical narrative, this graphic novel is as elaborately drawn as any major-studio animated film.” Ken Tucker, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “Baker’s treatment of the biblical story is funny and irreverent, and Bible study has never been so hip...an engaging comic adaptation of a classic tale."
Baker "magnificently captures the Bible’s intensity, passion, tragedy, cruelty and aggression... and (his) art is creative, dramatic and engaging...King David is a hit of epic proportions and will no doubt help bring back the Bible-the uncut version-to pop culture."
"...grand and colorful" |
YOU
ARE HERE
"Besides the pleasures of Baker's wisecracking dialogue, there’s a rousing chase through Central Park and a breathtaking fight to the finish...all rendered in a combination of virtuoso comics draftsmanship and richly saturated coloring. Never mind the thin veneer of pop sophistication attached to many graphic novels: this is an unpretentious, rip-roaringly entertaining comic book farce." PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY TRUTH: RED, WHITE AND BLACK

I
DIE AT MIDNIGHT
"Baker doesn't release material all that often, but when he does, it's almost always worth picking up. ...A brief but memorable bit of controlled comic chaos." Keith Phipps THE ONION UNDERCOVER GENIE
"One of the most accomplished comics creators today..." Gordon Flagg, BOOKLIST BIZARRO: "LETITIA LERNER, SUPERMAN’S BABY-SITTER" |
WHY
I HATE SATURN
"Why I Hate Saturn has turned into a surprise hit...Baker writes about adult relationships in a crazed city, and he attacks pop culture in a way that’s funny." CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Baker...creates something
different with Why I Hate Saturn...combines bold inks, subtle sepia washes,
and an agile script."
