"I would unhesitatingly recommend The Greatest Comic Book of All Time as one of the most important recent publications in comics studies. ... professional comics scholars of every stripe should read it. ... no one has done a better job than Beaty and Woo of showing us just how much bigger our playground could be." (Ben Saunders, Inks The Journal of the Comics Studies Society, Vol. 1 (2), 2017)
