About the series

In 1983, Alfred A. Knopf Publishing released a single, self-contained comic by artist Glen Baxter, whose deadpan, absurdist style defines the entire series. Atlas presents a surreal, one-off adventure that showcases Baxter's signature blend of incongruous text and meticulously rendered, yet bizarre, imagery. Though brief, this singular issue stands as a distinctive artifact of 1980s alternative comics, capturing the humor and perplexity of a creator who delights in subverting narrative expectations.
