"Cartoonist and illustrator, Elijah Brubaker has really started to get critics attention with his current comic book project Reich, from Sparkplug Comics: a fictionalized account of the notorious life of psychoanalyst Wilheilm Reich, who was persecuted throughout his professional life for his theories on human sexuality. Through a long time fascination and exhaustive research, Brubaker has crafted an absorbing portrait of a tortured and ambitious man, and he hasn't even gotten to the part about aliens yet!"
