THE IDEAL COPY (Double+) - Softcover

"Reading Ben's work is so much fun. I love his use of color and his characters. It reads like he had a blast making it." - Brandon Graham, King City, Multiple Warheads, Prophet, ISLAND Magazine "[I]magine Indiana Jones as told by Hayao Miyazaki." - Zainab Akhtar, The Guardian "In terms of non-licensed, oddball series with massive elements of kids comics in play, I prefer Ben Sears to most of the artists working this corner of the funnybook playground." - Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter "[The Ideal Copy] revels in the pure silliness of its situations and characters, putting me in mind of Wallace and Gromit." - Tom Baker, Broken Frontier "The [Double+] books are all-ages fun-bits of science fiction, action, and comedy tossed together to impress." - Ross Johnson, Barnes & Noble "Sears is the ultimate gamer in his very own Minecraft-of-the-mind, and I really have a ball touring it." - Caleb Orecchio, The Comics Workbook "The Ideal Copy proved to me that the scuttlebutt I've been hearing the last few years is absolutely true - Ben Sears is a cartoonist who intrinsically understands what younger readers want in a story, but the tent he's hosting his party in a big one, and there's plenty of room in it for us old-timers, too." - Ryan C.'s Four Color Apocalypse "Sears [is] an extremely careful and deliberate cartoonist whose serious approach doesn't detract from the liveliness of his line and the small joys of his characterizations." - Rob Clough, High-Low "This third book [in the Double+ series] is the best of the bunch, in my opinion, and I am thrilled for more." - Stergios Botzakis, Graphic Novel Resources "Grand adventure in the tradition of Tintin and the like, all told with aesthetic somewhere between Maurice Sendak and Wallace and Gromit." - Gosh!
