Northwestern Spain, observed with the eye of an artist, chronicling both the good (people, conversations) and the bad (blisters, bedbugs) he encountered on his journey. Full of quiet incidents, odd encounters, small triumphs, and the occasional setback, On the Camino is the first implicitly autobiographical long-form work by a master cartoonist.
Ernest Hemingway stars in three interconnecting short stories in this graphic novel. Paris, 1925. Our story begins when Hemingway meets Athos, the last Musketeer, who, together with several more friends of Hemingway, travel to Spain's Pamplona for the fiesta. Festivities and complications ensue. Paris, 1944. The second story starts the day after the liberation of Paris when Hemingway, now a war correspondent, decides enough is enough, and takes action to end the war for good. With a group of adventurers and resistance fighters, he parachutes into Germany to do just that. Cuba, late 1950s. Our literary lion is in his twilight years, writing his memoirs, remembering his first and second meeting with the seemingly immortal Athos. Mixing fact and fiction, Jason has imaginatively recreated one of America's greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century.
Denne boka inneholder tre separate fortellinger: Magritte-banden – et surrealistisk mysterium der kunstmalere plutselig forsvinner. Døden i Trieste – en dadaistisk krim med blant annet Rasputin, Marlene Dietrich og David Bowie på rollelisten. Sweet Dreams – en apokalyptisk science fiction-historie der 80-talls musikkhelter prøver å redde verden.
I den franske byen Montpellier bor juveltyven Sven. Når han går på tyvetokt om natten, kler han seg ut som varulv for å skremme dem som eventuelt tar han på fersk gjerning. Det går bra helt til han blir oppdaget av ekte varulver. De er svært misfornøyde med at en konkurrent har beveget seg inn på deres jaktmarker, og prøver å sette ham ut av spill. I dette albumet leker Jason i kjent stil med referanser fra film og annen populærkultur. Samtidig forener han spenning, surrealisme, humor og romantikk i en og samme fortelling.
"Athos i Amerika" er en samling av seks nye historier i en bok på tilsammen 200 sider. Jason viser igjen sin karakteristiske, filmatiske fortellerevne der tegninger og dialoger er svært forenklet, men likevel innholdsrike og med et gripende uttrykk. Historiene rommer flere narrative lag, der de menneskelige relasjonene hele tiden har en fremtredende plass. Her er alt fra rabiate gangstere og avkutta hoder, til sexy damer og trofast kjærlighet - og ikke minst en serietegner med hissig temperament. Selv om alvoret er tydelig tilstede, preges historiene også av en raus porsjon humor, ironi og humanisme.
Fire fortellinger i én bok: «The Wicklow Way» -En serieskaper på vandring i et vakkert irsk landskap med mange sauer og få mennesker. «L. Cohen: Et liv» - En fantasifull og høyst uoffisiell biografi om Leonard Cohen. «Diamantene» - To detektiver som blir innhentet av sine egne private problemer. «Å, Josephine!» - Den liden.skapelige kjærligheten mellom Napoleon Bonaparte og Josephine Baker som overvinner tid og rom, men som ender i tragedie.
Pamplona 1925: Hemingway begeistres av tyrefekting og fiestaens magi. Paris 1944: Hemingway leder et kommandoraid for å ta Hitler og avslutte krigen. Cuba 1959: Hemingway minnes da han møtte Athos, den siste musketer. "God natt, Hem" består av tre historier der fiksjon og fakta veves sammen til en underholdende, original og tankevekkenede fortelling om Ernest Hemingway.
Kafka møter The Prisoner. Spock møter Kiki fra Montparnasse. Athos møter Van Gogh, og David Bowie. Vampyrer og dinosaurer, James Joyce og Dostojevskij. I denne samlingen av korte historier sjonglerer Jason med et stort og mangfoldig persongalleri.
The acclaimed graphic novelist Jason returns with his most eagerly awaited book yet, thanks to the inclusion of the title story, the world's first (and likely last) chess western, originally serialized in 2008 in the New York Times Sunday Magazine "Funny Pages" section. 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.
The second book from one of Europe's most acclaimed young artists. Entirely told in pantomime, this suite of short tales veers from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching. Like Chris Ware's, 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. Jason's previous book, the graphic novella Hey, Wait..., was released in English to great acclaim in September of 2001. This second book is very much in the same graphic and narrative style. Author Biography: Part of a new wave of Scandinavian cartoonists that began flourishing in the 1990s, the Norwegian Jason has been publishing his own comic, Mjau Mjau, since 1998. He lives in Oslo, Norway.
Real fast food isn't about how quickly food can get to your mouth, but how fast the body can digest it, extract the goodness and get rid of the waste. Jason Vale challenges the sort of fast foods we are all familiar with in this recipe book full of ideas for nature's ultimate fast food- raw juice. Fast food junkies, enslaved by the ‘drug food’ industrial giants, are experiencing a ‘slow food’ health crisis. Fast food slowly clogs up your arteries, fills your bloodstream with poisons, overworks every organ in the body, speeds up the ageing process and quite simply starves the cells in your body to death. In Slim 4 Life, Jason Vale, the Juice Master, introduced his own food philosophy based on nature’s real fast food; raw juices, food that the body can digest, extract the goodness from and get rid of any waste- FAST! Ultimate Fast Food follows on from this, giving you plenty of delicious juicing recipes that will have you healthy, fit and full of life- as well as kicking the old ‘slow food’ habit!

Break free from your chocolate addiction with Jason Vale’s irreverent, zany and original new book. Jason, aka The JuiceMaster, reveals the dangers of chocolate’s ingredients (sugar, dairy and additives), the marketing industry’s ploys to keep us all hooked and our emotional attachment to the sweet stuff- and shows you how to kick the habit. Jason Vale offers his own take on the SugarBusters and anti-dairy phenomenon, taking a pop at the food and marketing industries and showing you how to free yourself from the mental food trap by reframing your thoughts. Sugar is the cocaine of the food world, responsible for obesity, diabetes and a host of other problems. Dairy is equally bad for us and is an acid-forming food. Many people’s stomachs aren’t suited to break the lactose down properly and so it affects our ability to digest the nutrients from other food. This book also examines the ways in which the advertising agencies seduce us and keep us hooked, as well as examining the emotional attachments we have to chocolate, created from early childhood: ‘the chocolate nanny’ as Jason puts it. Jason’s lively debate, full of amazing information that makes your hair stand on end, is enough to put anyone off chocolate. He looks at how we’ve been hooked – and the ‘con’ that is confectionery.
