-Howard Cruse

"Story/idea great, good design and you've got a great sense of humor. And you are doing it for all the right reasons. Oliver Simonsen has a real future ahead of him"
-Mary Fleener

"No denying it's good. Sophisticated use of sequential story-telling techniques"
-James Kochalka

I read it all together: beautiful -has real charm.
-Nabiel Kanan

"A funny, deceptively simple story! Required reading for anyone who feels like a disenchanted robot"
-
Roberta Gregory

At first I took Captain Zap to be a parable of the way modern capitalism turns us all into machines, chanting A-1's mantra: "Produce, perform, conform...". But then I caught my calculator reading it. And then the TV remote, the cell phone, the PC, the stereo and the microwave all started to play up. Frankly, I think this comic is dangerous. If you see one, burn it immediately, before your household appliances get hold of it and start thinking for themselves...

"Don't let 'Captain Zap" fool you - there are some very complex themes lurking in Oliver Simonsen's simple storytelling. Simonsen just may be opening up a philosophical can of worms - and I plan to be there when he does!"

IT'S GREAT!!
-Jason Grode - Producer, Futurama


Great use of sequential art techniques. Serious and funny. Great merchandising possibilities!

There's something about it that made me put it at the top of my read pile. "Captain Zap" sets the reader off on a journey that forces him to examine himself as an individual while the characters do the same. This isn't a comic to glance at, this is a comic to read and think about.
