Oliver Simonsen:

"Strange Death of Alex Raymond" is one of Diamond Book Distributor's Featured titles for this month.
Key selling points:
A remarkable book that has been anticipated for many decades.
The Strange Death of Alex Raymond is a milestone book, an idiosyncratic history of the medium that is visually compelling in a way few books are.
Understanding Comics meets From Hell.
Dave Sim is one of the medium’s greatest practitioners and has created something about some of the medium’s greatest practitioners.

Cerebus and Barry Windsor Smiths long anticipated Monsters (translated from Spanish):
"Many pages of Barry Windor Smith's Monsters have reminded me of Dave Sim and Gerhard's Cerebus Melmoth arc. That use of plum plots by BWS and the way to stop the rhythm with an epistolary narration, not to mention the use of pages almost as illustrations."
"...curious to see the similarity in the graphic and narrative approach of both works at certain specific moments. Two similar approaches in two works that separate more than 30 years."

Italian site looks at "Cerebus: Flight" Graphic Novel: "It is as if in the first half Dave Sim has trained in the rules of narration and has experimented as much as possible, while in this second half, now sure of his creative abilities, he has let himself go in a fluid way, disinterested in a cold and perfect potential. construction of the story, preferring on the contrary a freer flow of the story"
