&ldquo;In fewer than 100 pages, Cho crafts a complicated and sympathetic protagonist whose plight rings true for any who have experienced the abiding loneliness that is living alone in the big city as a twenty-something. This is quite an achievement. . . . Magnificent.&rdquo; &mdash;Graphic Novel Reporter &ldquo;With his debut book&#160;Shoplifter, Michael Cho joins the likes of Anya Ulinich (who's been credited for sketching a sort of&#160;Girls&#160;for divorcees), Jillian Tamaki (whose&#160;This One Summer&#160;follows an overweight teen), and Marjane Satrapi, the genius behind&#160;Persepolis.&rdquo; &mdash;Huffington Post &ldquo;A beautifully illustrated character piece about a young woman in an unnamed city at a crossroads in her life, coming to terms with her unhappiness and destructive impulses.&rdquo; &mdash;Comic Book Resources&ldquo;Shoplifter&rsquo;s a short book&mdash;90 pages or so, and the concise length serves it well&mdash;there&rsquo;s no flab here, no room for distracted interjections, no complaints. It may be slight, but it&rsquo;s elegantly executed . . . assured and cogent. Visually, it&rsquo;s as attractive as you&rsquo;d expect from Cho, alternatively surrounding Corinna with beautiful rendered city and then leaving her swathes of space; she&rsquo;s as lost in one as the other. The rose and black color scheme is a gorgeous combination that does much to imbue the narrative with a sense of warmth and closeness, and also to dispel any notions of otherwise suggested&#160;tone. It&rsquo;s rare that you read something so evenly handled yet characterful and uplifting, but Shoplifter manages it.&rdquo; &mdash;ComicsAlliance &ldquo;Cho&rsquo;s illustrations are the real draw, with dense, rose-tinted cityscapes that perfectly convey the loneliness of urban life. It&rsquo;s a notable debut.&rdquo; &mdash;Entertainment Weekly &#160; &ldquo;Cho is a subtle storyteller, setting Shoplifter in a city reminiscent of Toronto, although it remains unnamed. As in his previous book,&#160;Back Alleys and Urban Landscapes, the city becomes something of a character, lonely but also full of possibility. This, along with his at times sparing use of language, gives the graphic novel an air of quiet desperation, of a decision about to be made.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;Shoplifter exists as a &lsquo;slice of life&rsquo; story. . . . Where it stands above other works is in its execution and especially in Cho&rsquo;s terrific and illustrative artwork. . . . His first graphic novel effort knocks it out of the park . . . with its humor, sense of style, and near flawless execution of its simple narrative.&rdquo; &mdash;Examiner.com&ldquo;A funny and touching portrait of urban angst. What&rsquo;s exceptional is the eye-catching art in two colors, black and rose. The adept use of black ink delineates but does not complete the outlines of people and buildings; the rose tones shadow and spotlight, subtly drawing attention. Large swatches of rose or black physically define Corinna&rsquo;s distance, both enforced and self-imposed, from her world. The delicate ink line articulates the facial expressions, and the intricate background and character details tie the narrative together. With its appealing story and quirky heroine, Cho&rsquo;s debut is a visually electrifying, if minor, tale.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Where has Michael Cho been hiding himself? . . . His art is lovely with an art deco, Darwyn Cooke-style approach to the page, detailed with shaded images and dense backgrounds that seem full of people and buildings that nearly seem to jump off his page. There&rsquo;s a tremendous feeling of life and realism in Cho&rsquo;s characters; in their small sideways glances and bright eyes, Cho captures the essence of humanity in even the most random of background strangers . . . A memorable tale.&rdquo; &mdash;Comics Bulletin&#160;&ldquo;Michael Cho&rsquo;s Shoplifter is the most modern, of-its-time graphic novel I&rsquo;ve read in a long while.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Comicsworthreading.com&ldquo;Michael Cho&rsquo;s Shoplifter, his first graphic novel, is a joy to behold&mdash;so beautiful it will make all other cartoonists weep with envy.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Seth, author of Palookaville
