«It’s part satire, part parable, part nursery rhyme and part disaster movie, and it’s an utter joy to read.»
Tom Gatti, The Times
«Clever, funny and beautiful to look at… A fairytale for adults that children will also adore, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is surely destined to become a classic.»
Rachel Cooke, Observer
«As splendiferous as its title… An inspired swirling of the mundane with the surreal, the plot may be simple but his satire on modern life is witty and thoughtful.»
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro
«Collins’ wonderful debut unfolds with slow and simple elegance through black-and-white panels.»
James Smart, Guardian
«It reminds me of nothing so much as a Roald Dahl novel.»
Alex Hern, New Statesman
