"Arf" Anthologies

”When is an anthology not an anthology? Yoe's quirky collections bring together multitudes of art styles — clips, whole stories, paintings from well known and obscure comics/non-comics artists of all styles and eras, usually with some underlying theme, but Yoe isn't really interested in traditional anthology. ARF! is instead artifact, anthology as collage, and Yoe doesn't try to edit so much as create an experience. Experience it.” – Comic Book Resources

"A series of attractive and engaging books exploring — with a scholar's thoroughness and a fanboy's passion — the surprising ways in which comic books and strips have leaked into the wider culture, particularly high culture... Brilliant." – Boston Globe

"I’ve been an unabashed admirer of these books since the first volume came out... turning the pages I was in awe of the richness and variety of material placed before me. In his Arf books, Yoe shows us time and again just how much greatness lies buried beneath the surface of what we consider to be the Official History of Comics in the 20th Century. I’m very grateful that he’s unearthing work like this for our modern eyes and hope he keeps doing so for some time to come." – Newsarama
