Jon Lewis’ True Swamp Simple As Easy

We’ll try to make this as straightforward as possible…

Scott McCloud says: “Terrific! Lewis goes places no other cartoonists have gone.”

Ed Brubaker says: “True Swamp still stands as one of the most interesting and original worlds created in all of comics.”

Dylan Horrocks says: “True Swamp is a true classic. Jon Lewis has created a world so rich in detail and personality that once you’ve dipped your toe in the warm larvae-filled water, you won’t want to leave.”
