Here are some nice words from some nice people…

Intimate, insightful and inspiring, 10,000 Inkstains is a riveting and heartfelt journey through the trials and tribulations of a young Canadian cartoonist on his path to becoming a brilliant and prolific storyteller.

From his early "grunge" years to the breadth of imagination of his voluminous later years, Jeff Lemire's sheer talent is ever-evolving and his work is a joy to read. Can’t wait to read the next chapter of his career!

This book is also a love letter to the power and creativity of comics and how with passion, perseverance and artistic vision one's dreams can be realized.”

Karen Berger (Founder/Editor Vertigo)

“A gorgeous, helpful memoir/visual journey of how Jeff Lemire found his voice, his vision, and all of the messiness that entailed. Essential reading for any up-and-coming comics creator!”

Patton Oswalt

“Successfully bridging the worlds of indie and mainstream comics like few before or since, Jeff Lemire will go down as one of the most influential cartoonists of his generation. To get such an intimate look behind the scenes of Jeff’s career to date is a rare treat, and a must-read for any fans of the medium.”
