"Neil Vokes is quietly staking out his little portion of the Image backlist for himself.

I think he'll be giving Doug TenNapel a run for his money in the future, and I don't see anything wrong with that... a great style that combines the best of the Toth  School of art with some of Kirby's  energy, Timm's  style, and a storyboard artist's eye for movement."

-- Comic Book Resources

"Before reading The Black Forest I knew I was gonna love the artwork - hell I just love everything Neil Vokes puts pen to..."

-- Adrian Salmon (artist-The Faceless;Dr Who) 

"There's a gentle,ghoulish madness in Neil Vokes' art...

and we should all be very grateful for it."

--George Perez

THE BLACK FOREST

Fan Response:

"Fresh and exciting, The Black Forest  is a breezy read that plays both to the aesthetic comic fan and the wee kid in me who loves a monster and those men who will buckle down and face em!!" 
-- Davey Z

"Planning on going to see Van Helsing ... save your 10 bucks and immediately buy this awesome graphic novel ... it's refreshing to read a comic book that's just plain fun"

"THE BLACK FOREST  is that rarest of modern comics, a good old-fashioned action romp devoid of excess violence, sex, and foul language ... the perfect gift for that eccentric uncle of yours who sports a "Zacherle for President" button and boasts about his complete set of  CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN magazines."

"The black and white art did a fabulous job of appropriating the feel of the old Universal horror films of the 30s and 40s...The Black Forest is simply one of the best graphic novels I have read."
