Review
Ware's genius lies in the detail...beautifully drawn. (Esquire Magazine )
Belongs as much to an art gallery as to a bookshelf. Produced with the kind of attention, love, care and copiousness of detail that one finds in a Rennaissance masterpiece, it is a sort of cartoon miscellany. (Neel Mukherjee The Times 20051203)
