Críticas:
"He uses his detached style to get at something essential in the story he's telling, contrasting his placid portraiture with the roiling passions just under the surface." --Onion AV Club on Lovers Lane

"Geary's old-fashioned black-and-white line drawings, vividly evoking the turn-of-the-century milieu, and his reliance on text-heavy captions as a sort of voiceover impart a documentary air to his thoroughly researched account. A standout entry in Geary's consistently fascinating true-crime series." --Gordon Flagg, Booklist

"A steady and enthralling account of White's murder which also provides an impressive narrative of Nesbit's ability to survive in a world of men trying to control her and bend her to their wills." --Publishers Weekly

"His clean, purely linear artwork is not only a delight to look at but serves the narrative in a near perfect union of pictures and words." --Publishers Weekly on Lovers Lane

"No season would be complete without the latest in Rick Geary's ongoing series of 20th-century murders: with elegant, unsettling penwork, Madison Square Tragedy: The Murder of Stanford White tells the notorious story of architect Stanford White, who was murdered by a jealous husband in a theater atop the original Madison Square Garden. Expect his usual tongue-in-cheek tone." --Publishers Weekly

"To be able to share Madison Square Tragedy, a shining example of the possibilities of the comic medium--with those who would not necessarily approach a comic book--is a triumph." --Jenny Randle, New York Journal of Books

Nominee:
Reuben Award for Best Graphic Novel
YALSA, Great Graphic Novels for Teens

Bringing to life turn-of-the-century New York and the scintillating career of one of its most famous architects, as well as the vices that cost him his life, this true-crime graphic novel tells the story of one of the most scandalous murders of the times. Stanford White was one of New York&;s most famous architects, having designed many mansions and the first Madison Square Garden; his influence on New York&;s look at the turn of the century was pervasive. As he became popular and in demand, he also became quite self-indulgent: he had a taste for budding young showgirls on Broadway, even setting up a private apartment to entertain them in, including a room with a red velvet swing. When he met Evelyn Nesbit&;an exquisite young nymph, cover girl, showgirl, inspiration for Charles Dana Gibson&;s drawing The Eternal Question and later for the movie The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing&;he knew he was on to something special. However, Evelyn eventually married a young Pittsburgh decadent heir with a dark side who developed a deep hatred for White and what he may or may not have done to her.
