Almost Silent (JASON OMNIBUS)
- Used Book in Good Condition
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 novelsâ€•three of them out of print since mid-2008â€•into one compact, hardcover omnibus collection. (As the title indicates, this volume favors Jasonâ€™s pantomime works.)

You Canâ€™t Get There From Here, the longest story of the book (and the only one to be printed in colorâ€•well, a color), tells the tale of a love triangle involving Frankenstein, Frankensteinâ€™s Monster, and The Monsterâ€™s Bride: Jason cleverly alternates between totally silent sequences involving the three characters and scenes in which Frankensteinâ€™s hunchbacked assistant discusses the dayâ€™s events with a fellow hunchbacked assistant to another mad scientist. (You didnâ€™t 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 Jasonâ€™s 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 Jasonâ€™s 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
