 "Own this beautiful thing."
"LULU is a serious work. But one in no way pompous. The story explores the power dynamic of sex and gender. Dark undercurrents pervade it. It requires and assumes emotional intelligence of its reader – and an understanding of the medium skilfully employed to tell it...Generally these days most comic books fail to enthuse me. It’s not the medium it’s the message. More power to John Linton Roberson for ploughing his deviant furrow." (read more here) "LULU translates into graphic storytelling terms Wedekind’s meditation on sexual repression and its role in facilitating exploitative seduction with all its disturbing ferocity intact." Martin
Pasko, writer of Action
Comics, Batman:
the Animated Series, E-Man, Saga of the Swamp Thing,
and Wonder Woman.
