Relentlessly modern, but having one cloven hoof planted in a Lovecraftian past; an inventive fantasy on magic that is at the same time researched and authentic; with The Devil's Footprints, Scott Allie, Paul Lee, Brian Horton, and Dave Stewart present us with the real Witches of Eastwick in a stylish narrative that reimagines the occult/horror comic in a form suited to our present time. Recommended.
  —Alan Moore—
 
 
The Devil's Footprints is first-rate horror story-telling; the world it creates is believable and solid, which makes the eruptions of wild Lovecraftian horrors all the more powerful when they come. This is clearly the work of people who understand and love horror, which is always welcome, and it makes for a thoroughly addictive read.
  —Clive Barker—
It's some of my favorite art in comics today. I love the beautiful retro-style drawing and the subtle coloring. It's on my 'look-at-for-inspiration' shelf.
  —Phil Noto—
Check your 'nerves of steel' at the door—The Devil's Footprints is a creepfest jam-packed with Lovecraftian monstrosities, midnight graveyard raids and more spookiness than you can shake a pitchfork at!
