Review Excerpts
"Visually stunning and glorious in its geekiness, Argon Zark! is our favorite over-the-counter method of escaping reality." -HotWired
"...the world's funniest supergeek." -Science Fiction Age
"The world has Matt Groenig, Gary Trudeau and now this guy, thanks to the WWW exposure. The beautiful flourish of graphics for this virtual comic book make the Web prizes he's won understandable." -Excite
"Wry wit and exceptional attention to detail, design and color make this in-your-face, Net oriented comic an instant classic in its genre." -Yahoo Internet Life
"We've seen some great graphics and amusing cartooning on the Web, but Charley Parker's Argon Zark! is outstanding. Not only is this strip incredibly well drawn and seemingly three-dimensional, but the background details alone are worth a visit. If Dali had done a comic book on the Net, it might have been something like this."
-Netsurfer Digest
"The artwork is stellar, with all manner of image-crunching software skillfully employed to create surreal landscapes and scenes. Given this technical mastery, I was expecting to have to sport the artist, Charley Parker, a few points for writing ability, but nope: Argon Zark! is well-written, well-paced, and phenomenally witty." -Hank LaRoche - StoryWeb
"Parker's clearly good with modern cartooning gear and has an eye for mind-spinning graphics -- stick with it and you won't be disappointed...
...this is one of the better examples of what Net "comics" could look like beyond simply reproducing pen-and-ink line art." -Lycos
"Meticulously drawn with lush color panels, Argon Zark! chronicles the adventures of Argon, a young, hip computer "hypergeek" and his robot assistant Cybert. Typing in random URLs literally whisks Argon and Cybert to bizarre new worlds. The writing is laden with eye-rolling puns, Web parody and smart-alecky pop culture references." -NetGuide
"A culture isn't complete without its own comic books, and Charles Parker's Argon Zark! is a comic for the data age..." -San Jose Mercury News
"Argon Zark! is unquestionably the best interactive comics have to offer." -frE-on
"...much more fun, clever, and well-done than most printed comics these days." -Connect-Time
"Forget the Infamous Tick. Throw over your newly streamlined but still old-hat Batman comics. Give up silly Dilbert. Theres a new geek in town...
The name to remember is Argon Zark!" -PCR Online
