Praise for GORDO
"Atalante's "Flambant 9" collection continues to confirm its status as a breeding ground for talent. Gordo proves this yet again. We are certainly already aware of Fabrice Colin's talent, but Fred Boot is a new find. This acid vision of the American Dream, in thriller form, keeps a constantly evolving art form truly alive. Well done!"
Jérôme Lavadou, ActuSF, February 2009
 
"All things considered Gordo is a completely crazy graphic book, crammed with references to the fifties and managing totally to achieve its goal: to make you laugh on (nearly) every page"

"This is what you call a UFO in the world of graphic books! This graphic book is a real little gem for those who like the fifties! The illustrations are certainly unusual, but they have a charm which really goes with the scenario, and especially with the story's natural atmosphere: it's effortless; we feel as if we are in the slightly off-the-shelf Pulp Fiction piano bar. It has, without doubt, a laid-back fifties atmosphere, but the real asset is the dialogue...
On this point, Fabrice Colin's work is outstanding in every way: not for one second do we lose interest, and we laugh out loud reading all the snide remarks and all the regular punch-ups of which Gordo is either the victim or the one responsible. [...]
This graphic book is head and shoulders above the rest, and is really worth reading or giving as a present..."

"Fred Boot's graphics are very elegant (a nice little dive into the fifties made in America), and, as zany as it seems at first, in the end the scenario is not as crazy as all that: a monkey resides within every man, as our beloved Darwin might have said, anyway he could have said it ☺."
