“Based in Nova Scotia, Andy Brown’s Conundrum Press has quietly become a major force in alt-comics publishing.” – The Comics Journal

“One of the most respected and acclaimed graphic novel publishers in the country.” – Quill & Quire

“One of the things I have come to admire so much about Canadian publisher Conundrum Press is that they have no easily categorised brand identity. If you sift through our recent Broken Frontier coverage of their output you will see a sequential art publishing list that doesn’t so much embrace eclecticism but redefines it.”  – Broken Frontier
