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.
