Reviews
"Hicksville encompasses a dozen different styles; happily, Horrocks proves equally adept at finely etched antipodean landscapes, superhero battles, and gag cartoons." --"Details" "Dylan Horrocks is clever, funny, and very, very good at making comic books. His characters grab you and haunt you and even make you worry for them. Buy this guy's comics. He knows what he's doing." --Frank Miller
