Especially great pains were taken to match Swarte's superb coloring, which includes stories executed in watercolor, comics printed in retro duotones, fiendishly clever use of Zip-a-Tone screens, and much more. Noteworthy stories include Swarte's take on an episode from Herge's early days, a \u003cem\u003eFats Domino\u003c\/em\u003e story, a tribute to the legendary Upside-Downs strip, and a story titled simply Modern Art.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\nJoost Swarte revitalized European alternative comics in the 1970s with a series of satirical, musically elegant, supremely beautifully drawn short stories often featuring his innocent, magnificently-quiffed Jopo de Pojo, or his orotund scientist character, Anton Makassar.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.
