Almost Completely Baxter: New and Selected Blurtings

Almost Completely Baxter: New and Selected Blurtings

Over four decades and a multitude of books, â€œColonelâ€ Glen Baxter has built a world and a language all his ownâ€”slightly familiar, decidedly abnormal, irresistibly funny. Have you felt the terror of a failed Szechuan dinner? Have you seen what happens at precisely 6:15? Do you know where the beards are stored? Either way, this is the book for you.

Baxterâ€™s drawings are a delicious stew of pulp adventure novels, highbrow hjinks, and outright absurdity: lonesome cowboys confront the latest in modern art, brave men tremble before moussaka, schoolgirls hoard hashish, and the worldâ€™s fruits are in constant peril. Wimples abound.

This new selection of Baxterâ€™s work brings together highlights from the full sweep of his long career, and is sure to enchant both confirmed Baxterians and those iin dire need of an introduction.
