Testimonials
" The book was absolutely awesome! I couldn't put it down. I've been reading everything I could get my hands on about Gallipoli for literally decades ... But, reading The ANZAC Legend did something that none of those books ever did for me, it gave me a real 'Diggers eye view' of what the terrain actually looked like, how it would have been seen on April 25th... This book was the very first to make it all 'click' in my mind and how it all actually fitted together. Something just looking at text and name labels on old flat black and white photo's can't convey.

"I am working on a new book for publication in the next months entitled "Dardanelles - Gallipoli".
Searching for sources for that study I came across your book "The ANZAK Legend". At my request, a friend of mine from Australia has bought it from you last September and brought it to me (in Greece). I am now enjoying reading it. As a matter of fact I have visited the fighting places in Gallipoli and it is amazing how you captured the battle scenes, especially your drawings of maps are excellent. It is as if I am there, since I know the area, but I didn't understand until now the military manoeuvring along the hills of the peninsula. Now thanks to you and your pictorial work I have an accurate view of the whole thing. Your book is very helpful to me and I will include it in my references.
So, I just wanted to say to you that I regard your work excellent for the student of that campaign." (Baron Tonis Breidel Hadjidemetriou, M.A., Ph.D)

"I am astounded by the amount of detail and effort that has gone into the creation of this book. I am definitely going to push for a few class sets and I am also going to put a notice and link on the Department of Education - Humanities and Social Sciences forum so that other teachers are aware of the resource" (Joe E; teacher )
"Still have your graphic novel on my bedside table. Simply the best in genre." (Hugh Dolan; author, historian)
"The Anzac Legend is an extremely well-researched illustrated graphic novel that describes the initial landing at Gallipoli." (Emmet O'Cuana; writer)
"I must say that it looks like a terrific publication. Looking more closely through it the other evening, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into it, and I think that final book as published looks very impressive and is a very worthwhile addition to the mounting documentation being published these days on the whole Gallipoli Campaign." (Colin Wilson; comic artist)
"an impressive work for someone who hadn’t previously produced a comic .... by the end of the book I certainly had a far better understanding of the Gallipoli experience, if not a totally clear picture. If you are military minded and enjoy a fine-detailed look at a specific battle you may well enjoy it. Someone looking for a more basic overview may be better elsewhere." (Philip Bently; writer)
