“A moving tale of fathers and their sons. A cautionary fable from the primal dawn of the Age of Celebrity. This book is brilliant.” —Grant Morrison
"In the vein of Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, Kupperman’s remarkable graphic memoir brings his father—the Quiz Kid himself, Joel Kupperman—to gorgeous, painful life. There’s also some fascinating insights here into the role of radio and television in mid-20th-century America." —Entertainment Weekly

Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010
"This is hugely imaginative, exultantly silly, gag-a-minute writing that manages to comment on the popular culture of the last century while willfully wallowing in it — Python with a wry dose of Pynchon." —Glen Weldon on npr.org
"Quite simply, one of the funniest things you’ll read in any genre.... absurdly hilarious. Kupperman has found stark comic brilliance." —David Berry writing about "The Best Graphic Novels of 2011" in The National Post
"Kupperman’s brilliance isn’t just in his humor, though. Mark Twain’s Autobiography is meant to be read in small doses, no more than half a dozen pages at a time. Trust me: You don’t want to gorge on a book that’s this weirdly amusing. But after a peek into Kupperman’s hysterically twisted mind, you’ll keep wanting to go back for more." —Chris Heller writing about "The Best Book I Read This Year" in The Atlantic
Snake'N'Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret
“It has become cliché to say I laughed until I cried, but when I’m done reading one of [Kupperman’s] underground comics my shirt is literally soaking wet. This guy may have one of the best comedy brains on the planet right now.” —Conan O’Brien
“Michael Kupperman is the funniest cartoonist alive.” —The Stranger

Tales Designed to Thrizzle, Volume 1
"The blandly didactic sobriety of old educational comics and earnest advertisements... is Michael Kupperman’s default tone for the deranged, gaspingly funny work collected in TALES DESIGNED TO THRIZZLE: Volume One." —Douglas Wolk in The New York Times
“A superdense wad of funny, surreal, bent humor.” —Cory Doctorow on Boing Boing
“Kupperman’s humor — a mix of genre, nonsequitur and nonsense — is a kind of laughter in the void, wonderfully lucid and slightly sickening... That Kupperman so masterfully plays to and upsets expectation makes [his work] that much funnier and finer.” —Art in America
Tales Designed to Thrizzle, Volume 2
Kupperman heaps absurdity upon absurdity... The result is a jubilant rococo, the strips all thrilling ornamentation. Here’s a century-plus of American pop culture crammed into one mad bouillon cube of a comic. The drawing’s ace, too." —Alan Scherstuhl in The Village Voice
"Hilariously absurd. Read 170-odd pages of them in one sitting, and afterward even straight entertainment starts to look ridiculous…" —Noel Murray in The Onion AV Club
“It’s a good thing this is a sturdy hardcover—it’s made to stand up to the spasms of laughter that will overcome readers again and again. Kupperman is pretty much his own genre of humor now." —Publishers Weekly
