Praise for Salt Water Taffy!

December 14th, 2008

Since the release of volume 2, Matt Loux has received nothing but praise for his imaginative all ages adventure comic series SALT WATER TAFFY!

“The second book in the Salt Water Taffy series is just as good as the first. It’s terrific to see Matthew Loux continuing to capture an exciting sense of childhood adventure in his uniquely thick-line style.” -Comics Worth Reading

READ THE REVIEW HERE!

“If I was a sufficiently good person, I would donate my copy of Matthew Loux’s Salt Water Taffy: A Climb up Mt. Barnabas (Oni Press) to the local library so that area schoolchildren could take in its many charms and borrow it to the point of decay, as I know they would. I’m not that good a person, so I’m keeping it for myself.” -Precocious Curmudgeon
