Manhole #2 by Mardou
"What’s striking about the tale is the confidence Mardou displays in the telling of it, shifting around in time as the story suits. Her line has never looked more natural, and the pacing is wonderfully controlled."
from Bugpowder
"The second issue of Mardou's self-published omnibus Manhole leads with an impressively ambitious story called "King of It." The story and the other short in the issue, "Snapshot," read like works straight from that rich no-man's-land between fiction and autobiography. The author's confession in the comic's foreword about the first story's basis in real-world emotional truths proves almost unnecessary; I can't imagine anyone reading this comic without thinking there's some reflection of the author's life in its pages."
