Sammy Harkham comments somewhere: "I use a hunt 107 nib with PH Martin black star ink on smooth series 500 strathmore bristol. This is the only combo that works for me-change any of those 3 components and it’s a disaster (or more of a disaster than it already is!)."

Art Spiegelman:
“At its heart, Blood of the Virgin is a story about storytelling—the stories people tell themselves and others. This graphic novel convincingly conjures up the grindhouse movie-making scene in 1970s Los Angeles and tracks an ambitious young man’s flailing attempts to build a family and a career as a film arteest in that debased world. Sammy Harkham devoted fourteen years to making this book; we see him develop into a master comics artist, and he shows himself to be an astonishingly complex and subtle storyteller. Blood of the Virgin rewards reading slowly and re-reading—it’s a book with a lot of heart.”
