JASON UPSIDE DAWN HC (9781683966524)

In this absolutely bonkers comics collection, Norwegian
cartoonist Jason follows his most oddball impulses,
presenting to readers an intergalactic assortment of his
weirdest, wildest short stories yet.
A dinner date devolves into a Dadaist farce. Death decides his victim's
fate over a high-stakes game of chess. Kafka is ensnared in a confounding
bureaucracy of his own imagination. Spock beams down to
1920s Paris to live a double life as an avant-garde painter. Hitchcockian
thrillers, literary adaptations, and homages to classic EC comics
abound. Dinosaurs! David Bowie! Vampires! Elvis! Welcome to the
cosmic gumbo of Upside Dawn.
Norwegian cartoonist Jason is beloved for his signature dry wit,
deadpan humor, and elegantly minimalist style. His newest compilation
of short comics stories leans into the playful and experimental,
as he mixes and matches genres, mashes up low and high brow culture,
from Star Trek to Georges Perec, and leads readers through dizzying twists
and turns - in sum, a beguiling collection for both stalwart Jason fans and the
blissfully uninitiated.
