Jason
Another all-original collection of full-color graphic novellas in the format of ,Low Moon, Athos in America, takes its title from the lead story, a prequel of sorts to the graphic novel ,The Last Musketeer,, in which the seemingly ageless swashbuckler turns up in a bar in 1920 New York and relates the tale of how he went to Hollywood to play himself in a film version of ,The Three Musketeers,. Another tie-in with a previous Jason story occurs in â€œThe Smiling Horse,â€ in which the characters from the story â€œâ€ in ,Low Moon, attempt to kidnap a woman.,Also in this volume: â€œThe Brain That Wouldnâ€™t Virginia Woolf,â€ a mash-up of ,The Brain That Wouldnâ€™t Die, and ,Whoâ€™s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,, told in reverse chronological order; the Bukowski pastiche â€œA Cat From Heavenâ€ in which Jason works on his comic, has a reading in a comic book store, gets drunk and makes a fool of himself; the dialogue-free (all the text occurs in thought balloons) â€œTom Waits on the Moon,â€ in which we follow four people (one of them a scientist working on a teleportation machine) until something goes wrong; and â€œSo Long Mary Ann,â€ a prison-escape love-triangle story.
