REVIEWS: LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED...
"All in all, Night Trippers would be a great addition to any graphic novel bookshelf. It’s mixture of style and nostalgia will have you looking through it again and again, as I have since I bought it. This is well worth the $17 cover price, and is a complete entertainment experience, full of laughs, thrills, and high fashion."
"The cover, the name and the unknown creators had me wary of picking up Night Trippers. To my surprise, Night Trippers is one of the best vampire tales I have ever read. This is the rare comic book that stays fresh even through a second reading. Fight the instinct to pass this by in the store in favor of more commercial fare. Great comics don't come along as often as they should. Don't pass this one up. "
"Those looking for something different in comics literature that sacrifices nothing in sheer entertainment value ought to take a look.”
"Night Trippers is absolutely must-get, must-read stuff."
"A clever blend of two distinct invasions—vampires and ’60s BritPop"
RUE MORGUE, JUNE 2006
"Word and picture are so thoughtfully executed that the end result is something of a tone poem of horror. The book is a lush and rewarding experience - worthy of re-reading nearly immediately - something I almost never do."
Robert Tinnell (THE BLACK FOREST, SIGHT UNSEEN, THE WICKED WEST)
"Set in London's swinging sixties - with the music scene and all it entailed - it's a fantastic take of all things mod under the power of evil."
"Night Trippers combines Ricketts' sense of absurdity, gift for dialogue, and instinct for drama (especially the nasty, violent kind)."
Phil Hester (FIREBREATHER, THE COFFIN, DEEP SLEEPER)
"Ricketts' work as writer extends further than just the story itself. He includes extra bits, notes that break out of the general framework as well as panels of internal exposition, commentaries from characters as to motivation and insight. Farritor's art is a perfect compliment to the proceedings, both as a visual representation of the altered times and the strung-out hopes, both good and evil, that embody the essense of the novel. It is a complete package."
"Writer Mark Ricketts and artist Micah Farritor have a smashing time mixing laughs and gore in this inventive new book."
