If You Steal
If You Steal | Jason
3 posts | 2 read
Jasonae(tm)s latest collection of full color comics indulges in his light and playful side, consisting of eleven wildly off-kilter stories that mix incongruous elements of pop culture and a variety of genres, pastiches and mash-ups in a delightful soupcon of graphic storytelling. Frida Kahlo is a hired killer. Santo, the Mexican wrestling film star, faces his ultimate challenge. The rise and fall of Chet Bakerae"told in six pages. Night of the Vampire Hunter. The last word on the JFK assassination conspiracies. A non-linear heist story that also somehow includes images by Magritte. A big bug story based on 1950s black-and-white films. And what would Van Morrisonae(tm)s Moondance album look like if it was a horror comic? All as foretold by Nostradamus, of course. And all told by Jason, whose sly and elusive meanings are hidden beneath a beguilingly deadpan style.

I have a soft spot for Jason's comics. They are usually understated. Mostly weird or unusual. Always have these blank anthropomorphic characters. This collection is more of the same, but in a more outlandish way. Aliens and Castro are conspiring against Kennedy, Frida Kahlo as an assassin, giant chameleon wreaks havoc on a city. You get the idea. My absolute fave is the last: A woman battling the personification of Alzheimer's.
