"Read this after watching the show in full, and it was so worth it. I cried buckets."

"Judd Winick has taken a lot of crap from the comics community for his work, some deserved and some undeserved. But for those who only know him from his mainstream work, I highly recommend this book (well, I recommend it even if you don't only know him from his mainstream comics work). It's funny, educational, incredibly heartfelt. I can not read this book without bawling like a baby, yet the book is surprisingly uplifting. It is an amazing story and a great monument to who Pedro Zamora was."
