Review:
"If 2015's Sam Zabel And The Magic Pen was for those of us in a certain sweet spot of alt-comics readership a long weekend spent in the company of a former high school crush, Incomplete Works is the contents of a box under your a bed in your parents' home that studied closely and with great patience reveals the details of that time period, but perhaps only to you and a few dozen people just like you. A cornucopia of false starts, short stories and misapprehensions in comics form, this surprisingly satisfying volume drives our attention to a place where Horrocks seems as maddeningly comfortable as any imaginary town where comics are taken seriously: a place of creation where there's little hope for success and even less so for a sequel." ―Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
"[Dylan Horrocks] finds a balance for poetry and comics, weaving in narratives that allow for the opaqueness of his words but are brought out in his visual work." ― John Seven, The Comics Beat
"In my ideal world all comics readers would own Incomplete Works, having devoured either Hicksville or Sam Zabel first. " ― Stephen Burt, Rain Taxi
"This collection is a great road map of Horrocks' comics career to date, and I'm sure I'll be adding plenty more of his works to my bookshelf in the future." ― Adrian Kinnaird, From Earth's End
