I Killed Adolph Hitler
Written & Illustrated by Jason
For his latest graphic novel (the third in color, the ninth to be published by Fantagraphics) Jason posits
a strange, violent world in which contract killers can be hired to rub out pests, be they dysfunctional
relatives, abusive co-workers, loud neighbors, or just annoyances in general — and as you might
imagine, their services are in heavy demand. One such killer is given the unique job of traveling back in
time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939… but things go wrong, Hitler overpowers the would-be assassin and
sends himself to the present, leaving the killer stranded in the past. As always, I Killed Adolf Hitler is
rendered in Jason’s crisp deadpan neo-clear-line style, once again augmented by lovely, understated
coloring. 7 X 10 Format, 48 PGS.

Last Musketeer
Written & Illustrated by Jason
Set in the present time, The Last Musketeer stars the by-now centuries old musketeer Athos, who has
been reduced to a suavely dressed but useless near-panhandler trading on his now almost extinct
fame. All this changes when one day the Martians attack Earth. Suddenly there is a need for swashes to
be buckled, and Athos leaps back into the fray with a vengeance. The Last Musketeer is a vintage sci-fi
adventure with a unique twist from an internationally acclaimed cartoonist. 7" x 10" Format, 48 PGS.

Living and the Dead
Written & Illustrated by Jason
This George A. Romero-esque zombie comedy is the middle installment of Jason's "horror trilogy,"
begun with the Frankenstein monster love triangle of "You Can't Get There From Here." Jason's elegant
deadpan style somehow manages to make the gruesome gore and splatter effects almost... charming
— and yes, it is a sweet love story at heart. If you read only one book in which a zombie devours a baby
this year, read this one! 7 X 10 Format, Black & White, 48 PGS.

Pocketful of Rain
Written & Illustrated by Jason
An anthology of masterful shorts from the creator of “I Killed Adolf Hitler.” This multifaceted anthology
collects Jason's early 1990's work, including his remarkable calling card, the novella-length thriller
“Pocket Full of Rain,” which has never before been published in English. Like a number of his initial
stories, “Pocket” is drawn with realistic human beings instead of blank-faced animal characters, a
true revelation for Jason's fans. This book showcases three distinct styles — his earliest “realistic”
drawing style, used to unsettling effect in some particularly creepy stories; an intermediate
“bighead” cartoony style that still features humans, used for both humor and drama; and the “funny-
animal” style he’s now best known for. All this, plus much more, including a color gallery and God
cheating at Trivial Pursuit. 184 PGS.

Tell Me Something
A blank-eyed, silent meditation on young love thwarted and re-kindled. Tell Me Something picks up the
stylized anthropomorphic characters of Jason's earlier works, as well as the challenge of all-pantomime
to weave a yarn of young love thwarted and re-kindled. Switching smoothly between two time periods,
alternating moments of tenderness and sadness with slapstick and irony, Tell Me Something is a
virtuoso technical achievement as well as a funny and sad tale of romance and treachery.

Why Are You Doing This?
Imagine a long-forgotten, never-produced Alfred Hitchcock “wrong man” thriller screenplay discovered,
adapted and filmed by a modern minimalist like Jim Jarmusch and you’ll have some idea of the unique
flavor of Jason’s latest graphic novel. The protagonist, a moody twenty-something wallowing in
depression after a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, finds himself drawn into a paranoid’s worst
nightmare after his best friend is murdered and the blame is pinned on him. With the help of a single
mother who spontaneously throws in her lot with him (not to mention her precocious daughter), he sets
out to clear his name. Soon new relationships are forged, dark secrets from the past are revealed, and
the real killer comes back into the picture…with a vengeance. 48 PGS, Color.
