Bob Levin

Levin, an author and attorney, lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and frequent collaborator, Adele. He is a long time contributing writer to The Comics Journal and the author of several books on cartooning and counter-culture.

"If good criticism is that which prompts and cultivates a reader's interest in the subject at hand, no matter their prior prejudice, Levin is an unassailably great critic. The studied enthusiasm and clarity of his essays suggests that he may be the best comics critic writing today." – Rain Taxi

"[Levin] is the best writer about comics working today and it's a shame he's not better known and more widely read." – The Comics Reporter
