"“The poetry of the manga here expresses the poetry of this pair of ‘mad men’ of Cold Mountain. Read the wise verses of Han Shan and Shih Te and, like the sage, your face will also break into a great big smile.”—Paul Gravett, author of Comics Art and editor of 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die ""Overall, an excellent graphic novel about these almost mythical figures which may have very well birthed modern philosophy. The story by Wilson and Seaton is smart, funny, and engaging. The art by Shimojima is sophisticated. Altogether, it’s an elegant tome which pays tribute to the godfathers of ‘dharmic bliss.’""—Graphic Policy"
