Reviews
Definitely First-Class * Paul Gravett *
It is a brilliant homage to the classic noir detective movies, and pretty much every cop buddy movie going and is laced throughout with snappy dialogue and one-liners that will make you laugh out loud * Book Zone for Boys *
Sequential narrative (comic book panels to you and me) can offer more visual possibilities than straightforward writing and Dave Shelton makes full use of the form . . . This hairy whodunnit will thrill children from 5 - 99. Go fetch! * Emma Byrne Inis *
The plots are goofy, the laughs are there and writer/artist Dave Shelton has got more expression out of his characters than I thought possible. Let's hope we see more of the Muttropolis duo in the future * Bear Alley *
A hilarious noir detective romp ... Full of slapstick visual gags and great wordplay, you'll soon develop a soft spot for these two lovable detectives * Daniel Hahn The Ultimate Book Guide *
