What I Did

A matching volume to 2009´s Almost Silent, What I Did collects three of Jason´s acclaimed 1990s graphic novels into a handsome, definitive omnibus format. Hey, Wait..., the first of Jason´s books to be translated to English, tells the story of two childhood friends. A dreadful event midway through the story changes their lives forever, and the melancholy. Sparsely told as a series of brief vignettes, Sshhhh is one of Jason´s virtuoso silent performances, the cradle-to-grave life of one of his bird-headed characters. And the one Jason fans have been waiting for is the long-out-of-print The Iron Wagon, an ingenious, atypically (for Jason) talky murder mystery set in early-20th-century Norway, adapted from a classic Norwegian novel by Stein Riverton--albeit starring Jason´s patented blank-eyed animal-headed characters and told in moody two-color panels.
