«Drawing is often seen as a cartoonist's primary skill, but Bechdel can also really write . . . Fresh, clever and moving . . . It [The Secret to Superhuman Strength] is probably her most beautiful [work].»
Lucy Knight, Sunday Times
«The long-anticipated return of . . . one of the most acclaimed authors in the genre, this should be one of the year's highlights.»
Kate McHale, Bookseller *Graphic Novels Spotlight*
«Every bit as deep, searching and multi-layered as Bechdel's previous efforts . . . The new book is fun, too . . . A sort of very sweaty A Portrait of an Artist.»
Tom Tivnan, Bookseller
«Everything you'd expect in a work from Alison Bechdel: wry, insightful and multi-layered. It even almost made me want to do some exercise.»
