Joost Swarte: Is That All There Is?
Under Swarte's own exacting supervision, Is That All There Is? collects virtually all of Swarte's alternative comics work from 1972 to date, including the RAW magazine stories that brought him fame among American comics aficionados in the 1980s. Especially great pains were taken to match Swarte's superb coloring, which includes stories executed in watercolor, comics printed in retro duotones, his clever use of Zip-a-Tone screens, and much more.
By appropriating and subverting Tintin creator Hergé's classic "clear line" style, Joost Swarte revitalized European alternative comics in the 1970s with a series of satirical, musically elegant, beautifully drawn short stories - often featuring his innocent, magnificently-quiffed Jopo de Pojo, or his bombastic scientist character, Anton Makassar. Out of print. Item #2252.
