reviews

  • “Argon uses tried-and-true tactics of simplification, dialogue, and visual metaphor to deliver the central message of existentialism without the pitfalls of slogging through Sartre’s sometimes impenetrable prose. A satisfying concept and skillful execution.”
    Leonard Pierce.
    The Comics Journal
  • “Designed for the studious and dabblers alike, this guide works as an accessible primer on one of the 20th century’s weightiest thinkers.”
    Publishers Weekly
  • “An accessible and charming gateway into the complex, profound, and highly relevant thought of Jean-Paul Sartre.”
