Select praise for DRAWING BLOOD: Parallels to EASTMAN''s life are as bombastically drawn as his own Ninja Turtles, which coincidentally rocketed from a self-published zine to blockbuster franchise almost overnight. Bishop''s dynamic art emphasizes the pathos and humor in Bookman''s tale of depravity and redemption. (The real first issue of the Ragdolls'' comics, drawn by Rick & Morty animator Troy Little, is a fun bonus.) Diehard Ninja Turtle fans will appreciate the Easter eggs from Eastman''s notorious biography, while casual readers will be drawn in by a saga that''s equal parts aspirational and cautionary. It''s a wild ride in the weird world of comics. - Publishers Weekly Takes turns that readers won’t expect, delivering a fast-paced, sometimes funny, and fearlessly crafted portrait about the pitfalls of fame. In all honesty, this book makes the perfect parallel to CHIP ZDARSKY’s PUBLIC DOMAIN, especially in terms of subject matter. -AIPT
