"""This comic book clearly explains the basic concepts of conflict and critical criminology in a fun and visually appealing way."" -ELLEN G. COHN, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY ""CrimComics is an engaging tool to teach students about the origins of Conflict and Critical Theories. The author takes the student on a journey, introducing them to the development of the theories, humanizing the theorists, and most importantly, allowing the reader to see practical application of the theory."" -ELIZABETH B. PERKINS, MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY ""CrimComics is fascinating, riveting, innovative. I think students will love it."" -WILLIAM CALATHES, NEW JERSEY CITY UNIVERSITY"

This is a very innovative way to approach theory. It has long been recognized that theory is difficult to teach and even harder for students to grasp, and I am thrilled to see that writers and publishers are starting to think of new ways to handle the subject. --Allison Timbs, Campbellsville University CrimComics is a very cool, visually striking comic book that effectively introduces criminological theory to undergraduates. It is really clever in its pedagogical approach, balancing concise and accurate exposition with interesting historical vignettes. --Paul Kaplan, San Diego State University I think students will be thrilled to have CrimComics, something fresh and original that has been adapted to their generation of learners. --Anna Devita, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
