Revue de presse :

"This massive volume is comprised of two sections, each of which could be a separate book: a detailed biography of the artist by Bruce Canwell, accompanied by copious examples of his various kinds of work; and the complete run of Scorchy Smith, here appearing between covers for the first time. Such lovingly lavish treatment has been accorded few cartoonists, but Sickles, despite his lack of renown, thoroughly warrants it." -Booklist

"[An] almost embarrassing amount of riches...in the arts section: paintings, commercial art, war-related efforts, commissioned work, personal items such as birthday cards, and abortive syndicated newspaper comics efforts like a mid-'70s Bruce Lee strip. Scorchy Smith is really two separate books, and that's not just a facile slogan here; there's simply that much material." -The Comics Reporter
