Jason’s new zombie epic…
Kick-ass Norwegian cartoonist Jason has a new book out from Fantagraphics Press called The Living and The Dead. Just read it the other night and it’s amazing. One of the best zombie comics I’ve ever read, hands down. Everybody needs to check this book out. From the Fanatagraphics website…
Jason returns, for his ninth Fantagraphics graphic novel, to his two-tone mute roots with The Living and the Dead, a George A. Romero-esque zombie comedy that he intends to be the middle installment of his “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 (even Romero never quite summoned up the nerve for that), read this one!
