200604181644 The premise of The Left Bank Gang sounds wacky, but Jason pulls it off with wonderful believability. The story takes place in 1920s Paris, and the main characters -- Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Pound, Joyce, Sartre -- are all cartoonists and in this world, comic books, not regular books, are the major form of fiction. In addition, the characters are all anthropomorphic animals.

Jason, the artist and writer of The Left Bank Gang, appears destined to join my pantheon of comic book artist gods, which include Jack Kirby, Carl Barks, Robert Crumb, Dan Clowes, Chris Ware, Seth, Joe Matt, and Jim Woodring. Pre-order on Amazon for $9.97
