Nice things people have said about Mister V’s books.
Reviews
Mister V’s comics
“Mister V’s comics are full of energy and ideas. Reading his strips, it’s obvious from the first panel that he loves what he’s doing. They manage to be fun, sad, and engaging all at the same time.”

Harley Chan the Ice-Cream Man
“Mister V’s Harley Chan the Ice-Cream Man is a delightfully surreal love story that pulled me right in from the first page to the last. His storytelling skills are well developed and resonate far beyond the simplicity of the minimalistic drawings.”

Mile High: Adventures in Colorado Medical Marijuana
“If you’re against the concept of medical marijuana and think the “medical” aspect of it is a joke, you really need to read this. If you’re already on board with the concept then there’s plenty to love here. I almost said this was highly recommended, then I realized that there was a pun in there, so it’s just plain old recommended.”
– Optical Sloth
“What I loved most about this book is not that Mister V was extolling the virtues of pot because he loved getting high, but because it had a positive impact on his life. This book isn’t necessarily an argument for marijuana’s legalization per se, but rather it’s a personal account of the way it’s improved his life and the ridiculous bureaucracy he had to wade through in order to get there.”

Helen Doesn’t Live Here
“A pretty entertaining train wreck.”

Star Wars: Jedi Academy
“Great stuff. I love the moral ambiguity and the unfolding of the story. Real pathos.”

DNR
“The autobio comic DNR is a chronicle of bizarre, disgusting, depressing things the cartoonist saw while working at an ER. The material is so interesting, and such a unique look at the healthcare industry as seen from the ground level, that DNR is an absorbing read. The guy just has a lot of good stories.”
– The Comics Journal
“This is a funny, profane, gross and cynical look at the experience of being a patient transporter in a busy hospital. Mister V’s art is all manic scrawl. It’s a perfect match for the subject matter. Relentlessly cruel and tangential, but in a way that adds charm and reflects the chaos in the medical industry.”

House of Whorror: Fran’s First Time
“Funny and raunchy, blending in genre tropes and extreme, visceral gags. There’s almost a sweetness at work in this story that involves a Candide-like innocent making her way in the world without totally losing her ability to care for others.”

“I liked it when that one time that guy grabbed that girl’s nipple. HA! That was funny!”
