On the first volume of True Porn:
"Whenever I read autobiographical comics I can't wait until the storyteller gets to the part where they have sex. It's always the most revealing and often interesting aspect because cartoonists have the most fucked up sex life. I think comic book creators Kelli Nelson and Robyn Chapman think the same thing and that's why they put together True Porn. It's a collection of almost 50 stories by independent comic books creators and the stories are all about sex. There are some amazing creators involved including Ivan Brunetti, Ariel Schrag, Neil Kleid and many more. It's a great book that Alternative Comics just released. It won't disappoint even the most hard-bitten SuicideGirl that's read nearly every dirty story on the internet."
—Daniel Robert Epstein (Suicide Girls)
"In most forms of media, sex seems to be either an expression of love or a predictor of disaster. True Porn: An Anthology covers what's in between. These forty-three stories are all about sex, but not necessary to titillate. Stories of first experiences, lost loves, masturbation, being a cartoonist who deals with sex, or just plain thoughts on what sex means, fill the book. They run from funny to heartbreaking, but they're all real, all autobiographical. And the result is amazing."
—Rebecca Henely (Sequential Tart)
"What's in the hearts and libidos of comics fresh young minds and talents? Lots and lots of sex (or the absence thereof). In a year flooded with solid anthology titles, TRUE PORN stands out thanks to it's tight, focussed theme and risque subject matter....Despite the title, this isn't the sort of work you'd associate with "PORN", but instead it's an exploration of the human condition, using sex as a metaphor and storytelling device throughout. Recommended!"
—Christopher Butcher (Previews Review)
"With True Porn, editors Robyn Chapman and Kelli Nelson not only deliver very entertaining forewords, but also one of 2003's most enjoyable anthologies. So what if the subject matter alone gave them a big leg up on the competition."
—Robert Young (PoopSheet)

The latest issue of The Village Voice has a really fantastic article by columnist Rachel Kramer Bussel about our soon to be released True Porn volume 2 anthology!
