Of Comics and Men was described by the reviewer as "an important clearinghouse of information that will be very useful for other scholars who want to use comic books to address questions of cultural history."
Art Spiegelman: Conversations is said to have an expertly written intoduction and will provide "a valuable resource for those studying (and perhaps even teaching) Maus, comics history and theory, and cultural responses to 9/11."
