Quotes
"I love Tony "Baloney" Juliano's paintings, and was thrilled that he was lending his unique vision to creating an actual comic book! Despite starting a Comic Art museum, I may not know too much about Art, but I know what I like. Now you can experience Tony's comic book for yourself. And that's no 'Baloney'!" - Lawrence Klein Chairman of the MoCCA Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art
“Juliano's work is accessible, widely-appealing, and often damn funny, but also contains undercurrents of more serious thought. But not too serious - after all, this guy named his pet Commander Hamster.” - Nick Scalia PLAY Magazine
