About this Author
Reviews
"Kevin Mutch mercilessly examines romantic failure, artistic pretentiousness, self-delusion, and fear of zombies. Self-lacerating and hilarious."
"A sweaty mix of angst, bad decisions and hallucination, told with an involuntary, blurted-out kind of honesty."
"Mutch draws readers into the full bloom of mental breakdown in this viciously satirical graphic novel."
"Devastatingly funny, fiercely uncanny, genuinely moving and seamlessly crafted."
"Every choice Mutch makes in The Rough Pearl feels organic, and they all serve the story well."
"In The Rough Pearl, there's no simple answer, and it would be a lesser work if there were."
"A frenetic and electrically contradictory mapping of one man's existential breakdown."
