"In a world where a lot of our entertainment is watered down it's great to be exposed to a comic from another era that told its story with a real bravado that rarely exists anywhere in today's comic book industry." - Ain't It Cool News "Darkie's Mob is a treasure, something to be read and loved as often as you can. This collection is not only a must-have for comic fans, it should be required viewing for writers and artists across the board." - Crave Online
