Sshhhh! by Jason
From the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning author comes this sharp suite of short tales, ranging from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching, all told entirely in pantomime. Like Chris Ware, Jason's clean, deadpan style (featuring animal-headed characters with mask-like faces) hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity, leavened with a wicked wit. Jason's work has also drawn comparisons to Art Spiegelman for the similar ways both artists utilize 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 dark wit and supremely bold use of jump-cuts from one scene to the next are endlessly surprising and exhilarating.
PB & Jason is a husband, dad, geek, author, musician, podcaster, Dungeons and Dragons world-builder, and all-around nice guy. LIGHTFORCE is his first novel, but it won't be his last.
