"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 "Gorgeous. Nino Bulling's astonishingly assured Firebugs is their first work of fiction, but it manages to fit so much so deftly into so few pages that this hardly seems possible.

" -- Sam Thielman, New York Times Book Review "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." -- Library Journal, Starred Review.
