  • “ROTLAND PRESS SEEMS TO HAVE ITS ROOTS IN THE REALIST AND GROVE PRESS C. 1960S MORE THAN IN THE HIPPY UNDERGROUND PRESS THAT FOLLOWED OR IN THE GENTRIFIED GRAPHIC NOVEL PRESSES THAT HAVE COME ALONG SINCE. NIHILISTS AND OTHER MARGINALLY SOCIALIZED TYPES WILL BE AS GLAD TO DISCOVER THEIR SATIRICAL PUBLICATIONS AS I'VE BEEN.”

    —ART SPIEGELMAN, CO-EDITOR OF ARCADE AND RAW, AUTHOR OF MAUS

  • "Rotland Press is a mother lode of neo-underground comics in a print environment almost overwhelmed by constantly recycled industrial product. Browse their beautifully designed publications and take a tour of some of the best work produced by the best of today's independent cartoonists."

    —Bill Griffith, author of Zippy, co-founder of Arcade and Young Lust comics, and contributor to Raw and Weirdo

  • "The mission (of Rotland Press) doesn't deal only with indie comics of these days, since Rotland books are full of references to literature, poetry, art, cinema and obviously comics of the past. So, even if most of these books are made by contemporary artists, every item published by Mr. Standfest has a unique charm, as if it came from a distant time."

    —Gabriele Di Fazio, Just Indie Comics
