Jason’s Stories by John Arne Sæterøy
Requirements: CBR reader, 1.2 GB.
Overview: This superbly evocative graphic novella by the award-winning Norwegian cartoonist Jason (his first appearance in the English language) starts off as a melancholy childhood memoir and then, with a shocking twist midway through, becomes the summary of lives lived, wasted, and lost. (Imagine a version of Stand by Me in which not all of the kids outrace the train.) Like Art Spiegelman did with Maus, Jason utilizes anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth charge comes as an even greater shock. His sparse dialogue, dark wit, and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next (sometimes spanning a number of years) make Hey, Wait… a surprising and engaging debut. Love and Rockets co-creator Gilbert Hernandez calls this one of the best graphic novels ever.

Genre: Comics, Anthropomorphic, Graphic Novel, Dark-Humour, Satire.

        Hey, Wait… — Jason This superbly evocative story by the award-winning Norwegian cartoonist is a tale of childhood friendship and tragedy, and the terrible lingering aftereffects thereof. Gilbert Hernandez calls this one of the best graphic novels ever.
        I Killed Adolf Hitler — Jason A hitman is hired to travel back in time to kill Hitler in 1939… but things go very wrong. Hitler escapes to the present, leaving the killer stranded in the past. This surprising thriller unfolds with Jason’s wickedly dry humor.
        b]Isle of 100,000 Graves[/b] — Jason & Fabien Velhlmann A little girl enlists a shipful of pirates to help find the titular island, its legendary treasures — and her long-lost dad. On the island lies a secret school for executioners and torturers. Yes, it’s a comedy.
        Low Moon — Jason Five yarns from the Norwegian master: the titular New York Times serial collected for the first time and four all-new stories featuring murder, cavemen, sex, and alien abduction. Funny, poignant, and wry, this is Jason at his best.
        Sshhhh! — Jason A sharp suite of short tales, ranging from funny to terrifying to surreal to touching, all told entirely in pantomime. Jason’s clean, deadpan art style hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity, leavened with a wicked wit.
        Pocket Full of Rain and Other Stories — Jason A multifaceted collection of over 25 stories from the first decade of Jason’s career, with croquet-playing nuns, sentient cacti, autobiographical drunken escapades, lists of people who deserve to die, and God cheating at Trivial Pursuit.
        Meow, Baby! — Jason Jason unleashes his inner Scandinavian goofball with this big collection. God, the Devil, mummies, vampires, zombies, werewolves, skeletons, aliens, Death, cavemen, Godzilla and Elvis populate these mostly-wordless blackout gags.
        Tell Me Something — Jason Alternating moments of tenderness and sadness with slapstick and irony, this twisty romance (set in two different, interlacing time periods) is a virtuoso feat of storytelling as well as a funny and sad tale of romance and treachery.
        Werewolves of Montpellier — Jason A faux werewolf-cum-burglar runs afoul of a real society of werewolves who don’t take kindly to the pretender. Lycanthropic thrills, romantic dilemmas, situation comedy, existential drama — in other words, pure Jason.
        The Living and the Dead — Jason The Norwegian cartoonist returns to his two-tone mute roots with this George A. Romero-esque zombie comedy-cum-love story. Jason’s elegant deadpan style somehow manages to make the gruesome gore and splatter effects almost charming.
        The Left Bank Gang — Jason Set in 1920s Paris, this is a deliciously inventive re-imagining of the great literary figures of the period (Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Pound, and Joyce) as graphic novelists… and perpetrators of a thrilling, double-crossing heist!
        The Last Musketeer — Jason Perhaps Jason’s loopiest premise: the by-now centuries old musketeer Athos has been reduced to a suavely dressed but useless near-panhandler. All this changes when Martians attack Earth, and suddenly a swashbuckling hero is needed.

    About:

      John Arne Sæterøy (born May 16, 1965 in Molde), better known by the pen name Jason, is a Norwegian cartoonist, known for his sparse drawing style and silent, anthropomorphic animal characters.

      He has been nominated for two Ignatz Awards (2000: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series, 2001: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series), has received praise in Time, and won the Harvey Award for best new talent in 2002, and several Eisner Awards.

      Jason debuted in 1981 in the Norwegian comics magazine KonK, contribuing several short stories during its lifespan. In 1989, he was admitted to Norway’s National Academy of the Arts, where he studied graphical design and illustration. He won the Norwegian Comics Association award in 1991 for the short work pervo.

      In 1995, Jason published his first graphic novel, Lomma full av regn (Pocket Full of Rain), for which he won the Sproing Award. In 1997, he started making Mjau Mjau, a semi-regular comic book featuring nothing but his own works. In 2001, he was once again awarded a Sproing, this time for Mjau Mjau 10. Since 2002, Jason has concentrated on making graphic novels.

      Jason has lived in Denmark, Belgium, The U.S., and France. Since 2007, Jason has been living in Montpellier, and his recent graphic novels have been initially published in French.

      As Jason’s exposure has increased, his comics have been published outside of Norway, in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and The U.S. His American publisher is Fantagraphics.

      Jason’s work is usually drawn in a minimalist, clean style, influenced by Hergé’s ligne claire. His protagonists are usually anthropomorphic animals and/or B-movie monsters. There is little or no talking, and very rarely any captions.

      Jason’s comics frequently refer to other works. For example, Tell Me Something is inspired by Buster Keaton’s movies, Frankenstein’s Monster and related characters appear in You Can’t Get There From Here, and fictionalized versions of Ernest Hemingway and other writers are the protagonists of The Left Bank Gang.
