REVIEWS

“...a pretty successful take on what is quite a difficult brief: how to inform without preaching; involve without hectoring...”
Space In Text

“Black Holes by Dave McKean... provides a shocking insight into an alleged scandal involving the suppression of HIV sufferers and vanishing funds for treatment by the Chinese government.”
Art Sleuth

“...while Unmasks Corruption is an unquestionably dark read, it isn't ultimately a nihilistic or bitter collection.”
