Details
Originally serialized in 2008 to a huge (and hugely delighted) audience in the New York Times Sunday Magazine 'Funny Pages' section, 'Low Moon' made Jasonís 2008 appearance at the MoCCA Arts Festival in Manhattan the talk of the prestigious show, catapulting the Norwegian star to an even new level of mass appeal.
This 216-page hardcover book features five yarns - all brand new with the exception of the aforementioned 'Low Moon,' which is collected into book form for the first time.
The new stories lead off with 'Emily Says Hello,' a typically deadpan Jason tale of murder, revenge and sexual domination. Then, the wordless '&' tells two tales at once: one about a skinny guy trying to steal enough money to save his ill mother, and the other about a fat guy murderously trying to woo his true love. The reason we follow these two parallel stories becomes obvious only on the very last page, in Jason's inimitable genre-mashing style.
'Early Film Noir' can best be described as The Postman Always Rings Twice meets Groundhog Day. But starring cavemen. And finally, 'You Are Here' features alien kidnappings, space travel, and the pain and confusion of family ties, culminating in an enigmatic finale that rivals Jason's greatest twists.
Funny, poignant, and wry, Low Moon shows one of the world's most acclaimed graphic novelists at the absolute peak of his powers.
