Over four decades and a multitude of books, “Colonel” Glen Baxter has built a world and a language all his own—slightly familiar, decidedly abnormal, irresistibly funny. Have you felt the terror of a failed Szechuan dinner? Have you seen what happens at precisely 615? Do you know where the beards are stored? Either way, this is the book for you.
Baxter’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 world’s fruits are in constant peril. Wimples abound.
This new selection of Baxter’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.
This NYRC edition is a hardcover with printed endpapers, debossed cover design, and extra-thick paper.

"This isn't quite the "best of Baxter" with some new material - my favorite Baxters of the past don't appear here. However, if you love Baxter's work you will have to buy this. The printing is excellent, and some of the cartoons appear in color. I'm eagerly awaiting the promised Abner Dean volume in this series."

- I first encountered the pleasantly disquieting work of the Colonel back in 1982 when I stumbled across a volume of Atlas in a used bookstore in Menlo Park California, which is a fair distance from Leeds. His new book is an illustrious successor to his other volumes and I could wax poetic about the content but need to return to "removing all traces of the incriminating tofu!"
- A strange mind and a strange pen make for a bizarre read. A kindred spirit of Edward Gorey, Lewis Carroll, and Edward Lear. The cartoon on Proust in translation is alone worth the price. But wait -- there's more.
- 😂Baxter proves the adage that writers improve with age. His absurdist ramblings are, if anything, funnier now then they were 30 years ago.
- Esoteric Surrealism. Nothing better.
- This isn't quite the "best of Baxter" with some new material - my favorite Baxters of the past don't appear here. However, if you love Baxter's work you will have to buy this. The printing is excellent, and some of the cartoons appear in color. I'm eagerly awaiting the promised Abner Dean volume in this series.
