Reviews

[Krysia o książkach]

Bardzo banalna a jednocześnie bardzo dziwna.

[Przemysław Skoczyński]

Dawno nie czytałem czegoś tak banalnego i denerwującego. Nie pierwszy raz Thompson broni się fajną kreską, a wykłada na fabule. Do tego tłumaczenie, z tym niby slangiem, drażni jak mało co. Nie wiem dla kogo ten komiks, więc nie polecam nikomu.
