Select praise for WINNEBAGO GRAVEYARD:
“I really loved Winnebago Graveyard. Smart and creepy horror by Steve Niles and eerie art by Alison Sampson. Niles at his horrific best.”

—Cullen Bunn
“A creepy, atmospheric start to the book with great, textural art by Alison. This is a book you can really ‘feel’… I look forward to reading more.”
—Charlie Adlard
“Steve Niles is perhaps my favourite writer working in comics these past 10 years and Alison is the perfect partner-in-crime for him, the heir to Bissette and Totleben with all her beautiful, real-life sketchiness. My favourite book of this year by a mile.”
—Mark Millar
“This looks SO fantastic! I’m so excited to have been able to contribute.”

“Winnebago Graveyard is beautiful, grotesque, and scary a must read for horror fans.”
—Riley Rossmo
“Winnebago Graveyard… is scary as Hell. Get on board!”
—Andy Diggle
“Winnebago Graveyard… where Alison Sampson continues to the sort of poetic hyper-realism of her work (I always think of Arthur Ranson, who is a big deal to us British). Steve Niles’ story of slowly approaching horror is turned stately, rather. This is measured, and precise, lulling you into its rhythms. I like it.”
—Kieron Gillen
“Steve Niles is at it again, finding a way to take what could be a normal day with the family and turning it into a nightmare on so many levels, featuring hauntingly beautiful artwork by Alison Sampson that sets the tone from page one. Winnebago Graveyard is the start of a wild and twisted ride.”
—Jimmy Palmiotti
