Bahadır Baruter was born in Turkey in 1963. He started his career drawing realistic comics, but soon switched to a more cartoonesk style for comic magazine Pismis Kelle in 1989. Together with Fatih Solmaz, he created 'Lombak', a funny comic page full of absurdism, that ran in magazine Leman. This new, abstract humor proved very innovative for Turkish comics, and became immediately popular. 'Lombak' grew out to its monthly magazine, which started in 2000. Bahadir Baruter also worked for magazine Penguen.
