"Liebestrasse feels like an extremely needed graphic novel that has a lot of lessons that are still relevant and timely today."-PRIDE
"The real strength of Liebestrasse- it's a simple and quiet period piece that starkly juxtaposes our current political climate, while also being eerily similar in ways that are all too easy to forget. These parallels are not an explicit part of the story, but they don't have to be-the bare facts of the reality faced by these queer men makes their story even more frighteningly relevant."-Boing Boing
