PICTOPIA schreibt darüber auf paulgravett.com: „A surreal and strange tour de force by another Viennese comics artist. Heinz Wolf is a long time comics artist and activist in Vienna, he’s working together with Nicolas Mahler on Kabinett Passage, which is a small passage at the Viennese Museumsquartier, a small space dedicated to comics where they have two very small glass display cases where they show comics exhibitions and sell comics in a specially constructed comics vending machine directly to the passing public. Heinz has been around a long time in the comics scene here, but he has mostly been published in indie anthologies and self published efforts. Molch, a weird and heady crime comic scripted by Mahler, is his only work that was published by a professional publisher, Luftschacht. He’s an incredibly dynamic cartoonist, quite funny, and his story telling pacing is really good. He has some francobelgian influences – maybe Franquin – in his style and I also see remnants of people like Harvey Kurtzman, that dynamic MAD – kind of style with a lot of punch, but there’s also some underground-crumb-like grit in there and also this semi-elegant fluent humorous line (not sure if I’m making sense here). He is really good, one of the very best here. He likes Jacques Tardi quite a bit.“
