Reviews

"A creator who's half my age and twice as talented as I'll ever be, Tillie Walden is the master of gorgeously melancholy dreamscapes." - Brian K. Vaughan, writer of 'Saga' and 'Y: The Last Man'.

"The confidence of this work is startling, her linework is crisp and bold, her shadows deeply black, her turns of phrase heartbreakingly earnest...this slim volume feels like a mission statement and a herald of oncoming talent" - Publishers Weekly

"Tillie Walden is a prodigious and stunning artist. Her books have consistently been tender, wistful, complex, and stunning. Her latest release from Avery Hill Publishing is A City Inside and it is everything you would expect from a Tillie Walden comic." - Daniel Elkin, Comics Bulletin
