Reviews
"In the future, when rare, cult-favorite comic strips are collected, as they should be, I hope the various editors and publishers use the new Ablaze collection of Friday Foster as a template."--forcesofgeek.com
"This collection has just about everything I'd want from a book about a little-known strip that deserves more attention. It's a beautifully comprehensive package and a compelling soap opera to read. I thought it was fantastic!" ---https://comicsworthreading.com/
"Overall, Friday Foster: The Sunday Strips is what casual and diehard fans of the comic strip need to have in their library. The stories, essays and interviews by the different writers more than entertains, they give the ultimate look at this hero. The art by the different artists are beautiful. Altogether, if you are looking for a gift for an old school comic book fan, this book more than suffices and offers a different protagonist who was ahead of her time."
