Reviews
Herholz could become the logical successor to Edward Gorey’s brand of serialized fiction. Enjoyable for fans of Poe, femme fatales, and The Gashleycrumb Tinies.

Pretty cool artwork. I thought it was very stylishly done. It was a style that you just don't see all that often in comics.
- Ron Miller (Indycomicreview.com)

The narrative is told in a serious fashion and yet it is obviously totally tongue in cheek. Good clean fun that deserves an audience.

This book has a really dark vibe, it a very ominous feel to it with lots of atmosphere in the black and white artwork.
- Iann Robinson (Former MTV VJ)

If your sense of humor includes the irreverent and the macabre, Diary Of The Black Widow may give you a few laughs.

I may have mentioned this in reviewing issue #1 of this mini-series, but the artwork was noteworthy as well - primarily for being so odd and exaggerated.
