A review by ocurtsinger
King-Cat Classix by John Porcellino

5.0

I must admit that it first felt blasphemous to read John P's works in this big fancily-published collection instead of hunting down the staple-bound originals like the small gems that they are in the zine library. But reading them in this format, over time, I came to understand and grow with John P and King-Cat in a way that was so intimate and interesting that by the end I was incredibly thankful for this omnibus publication. Some of the stories in here are hands-down some of the simplest and most beautiful works in the entire world of sequential art, and some of John P's rants (one in particular about the simplicity of his drawing style) is something that every artist should pay attention to.
