“Peter is one of those very rare creatures — a wonderful illustrator and designer, a creator of striking single images — who also understand that comics are a whole different ball game and does both beautifully. It’s been a joy and an honor to work with him.”
/Mike Mignola

Sagt om Vikingar: "… otroligt snygg rakt igenom, varenda illustration är ett eget konstverk. Förutom detta är den textmässigt mycket välgjord med en intressant blandning av fakta från vikingar på istiden till dagens levande arv."
