Is That All There Is
Author(s): Swarte Joost & Ware Chris
By appropriating and subverting Tintin creator Herge's classic 'clear line' style, Joost Swarte revitalised European comics in the 1970s with a series of satirical, musically elegant and supremely beautifully drawn stories - often featuring his innocent, magnificently-quiffed Jopo de Pojo or orotund scientist character, Anton Makassar. Under Swarte's own exacting supervision, this collects almost all his alternative comics work from 1972 to date, including the RAW magazine stories that brought him fame among comics aficionados in the 1980s.

More About The Product
I've loved Joost Swarte's perfect cartoons, drawings and designs for decades and it's nothing short of ridiculous that a comprehensive edition of this brilliant artist's work has never been available in America until now. Swarte is considered a national treasure in his native Holland, and if you open this book, you'll understand why. --Chris Ware
