Finally a collection of books for those of us who love Norwegian graphic novel artists who create anthropomorphic characters that straddle genre constraints in a silent movie fashion to expose the realities of life, love, and the idiosynchrasies of humanity. Wait, you mean you don’t fall into that ridiculously specific non-existent subculture I just mentioned? Not to worry you’ll love Jason anyway.
Jason takes cute animal characters that have very human characteristics (much like what Spiegelman did with Maus), mixes in the minimalist nature of silent movies, and adds some deadpan humor to create some fantastically poetic stories. Whether it’s a zombie film, a hitchcockian suspense tale, an alternate history yarn involving the assassination of Hitler, or simply a story of childhood friends gone astray, Jason imbues his own sense of hope and pathos into his simple line drawings. Jason takes everything that is great about the graphic novel medium and makes it easy enough for newcomers to get lost in his world.
