Back
in November, Scholastic invited Jeff to speak at the Montclair Kimberley
Academy in Montclair, New Jersey, which is home to one of the most successful
book fairs in the country. We recently received a packet of ‘thank you’ letters
from several of the students, teachers and parents and would like to share a
few of our favorites!

Praise from the big man @FrankMillerInk:

@VitorAzambuja  just heard Frank Miller himself recommend ANYTHING written or drawn by YOU, as his favorite style.
