"The decision to present this important story as a historical comic book was ingenious. It reads like fiction, but is all fact." —Professor Irving Abella, President, Academy of the Arts and the Humanities, Royal Society of Canada
"There have been other histories of anti-Semitism in Toronto and Canada during the 1930s, but none as creative a Jamie Michael's Christie Pits... the story he skillfully tells is well-researched with an array of fascinating characters that leap off the page owing to the realistic and vivd illustrations of Doug Fedrau.
