1001 COMICS MINI-SITE

Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

Modern Art

by Joost Swarte

Original publisher: Real Free Press Foundation (Netherlands)
First published: 1980
Reviewed by: Huib van Opstal
Genre: Avant Garde, Parody & Satire

Recommendations:

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

Translations:

Is That All There Is?
Fantagraphics Books, USA, 2012
Collects all of Swarte’s comics from 1972 to date, including Modern Art.
