A deluxe, hardcover collection of four Jason classics: Meow Baby, Tell Me Something, You Can't Get There From Here, and The Living and the Dead. Almost Silent packages four original Jason graphic novels”three of them out of print since mid-2008”into one compact, hardcover omnibus collection. (As the title indicates, this volume favors Jasons pantomime works.)

You Cant Get There From Here, the longest story of the book (and the only one to be printed in colorwell, a color), tells the tale of a love triangle involving Frankenstein, Frankensteins Monster, and The Monsters Bride: Jason cleverly alternates between totally silent sequences involving the three characters and scenes in which Frankensteins hunchbacked assistant discusses the days events with a fellow hunchbacked assistant to another mad scientist. (You didnt know they had a union?) Tell Me Something is a brisk (271 panels), near-totally-silent (just a few intertitles) graphic novelette about love lost and found again, told with a tricky mixture of forward- and back-flashing narrative. Meow, Baby! is a collection of Jasons short stories and gags, and finally, The Living and the Dead is a hilariously deadpan (and gory) take on the traditional Romero-style zombie thriller.

All of these yarns star Jasons patented cast of tight-lipped (or -beaked) bird-, dog-, cat- and wolf-people, and show off his compassion and wry wit. Almost Silent is a perfect starting point for a new reader wanting to know what the fuss is all about, and a handsome, handy, inexpensive collection for the committed Jason fan. 72 pages in two-color, 228 pages in b&w
