Dexter

A creature of the early 2000s underground comics scene, Dexter made their debut in Measles #5 (2000), brought to life by the celebrated pairing of Kim Thompson and Joost Swarte for Fantagraphics — a publisher synonymous with ambitious, artistically daring comics. Though Dexter's catalog footprint is intimate, the pages they inhabit are shared with a colorful cast including Hector, Venus, and Glinda Gonzalez, making for lively, eclectic company. For fans of the era's most adventurous alternative comics, Dexter is a small but intriguing piece of a very cool puzzle.
