Colorful, vivid, and obsessive, the pages of Feynman exude the famous personality of the man himself, full of immense brilliance, genuine excitement for science, and a healthy dose of snark.

"These images capture with remarkable sensitivity the essence of Feynman’s character. The comic-book picture somehow comes to life and speaks with the voice of the real Feynman.

Spectacular.

The art is fun and playful, but does exactly what it needs to do narratively…
Something about the near cartoonish style of it just fits so well with the underlying humor of the story — it’s a perfect match.

The clean illustrative style seems a perfect fit for Feynman's light-hearted approach to life... the graphical and textual elements complement each other so beautifully it is like watching the man on video.
