Bacter-Area

    (Drawn and Quarterly, 2005)
™ and © Keith Jones

Like a lot of Drawn & Quarterly books, it’s a meticulously detailed, highly-stylized version of a basic drawing style, absent of narrative for sheer illustrative indulgence. Artist Keith Jones does break form by putting in some comic book sequences, about an inter-dimensional agent and an aspiring politician, but these weave in and out of largely unconnected scenes that showcase his artistic talent. Pretty esoteric, but with a bright, Easter-egg palette.
