"The deep queerness at the heart of Firebugs always promised a propulsive and comforting read for me, but I found myself regularly stopped in my tracks, marveling at the beauty of the artwork. Nino Bulling's cartooning is completely masterful." –Lee Lai, author of Stone Fruit
"
Firebugs is absolutely exquisitely drawn, Nino's drawing has a playful looseness that so many people attempt but almost none achieve. I am both jealous and proud. Nino looks at navigating love amidst the confusing amorphous experience of coming into transness within the drug saturated queer party scene. I get something new and exciting out of
Firebugs each time I read it." –
Tommi Parrish, author of Men I Trust "An unusually nuanced story of transition delivered in quietly incandescent dialogue and striking visuals." –
The Paris Review "A tender, probing exploration of queer identity in a world seemingly on the verge of collapse, brought to life with warmth and grace by Bulling's exceptionally fluid, emotionally evocative linework." –
