 I Killed Adolf Hitler Out of Stock Quantity

By Jason
For his latest graphic novel (the third in colour, the ninth to be published by Fantagraphics, following earlier works like Left Bank Gang and Why Are You Doing This?) Jason posits a strange, violent world in which contract killers can be hired to rub out pests, be they dysfunctional relatives, abusive co-workers, loud neighbours, or just annoyances in general — and as you might imagine, their services are in heavy demand. One such killer is given the unique job of travelling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go wrong; Hitler overpowers the would-be assassin and sends himself to the present, leaving the killer stranded in the past. As always, I Killed Adolf Hitler is rendered in Jason's crisp deadpan neo-clear-line style, once again augmented by lovely, understated colouring.  "Not his best work (that’d be ‘Why Are You Doing This?’), but Jason’s new graphic novel still has all the humor, weirdness, random violence and melancholy that makes people like me gladly plunk down $13 for a 48 page book. THIRTEEN DOLLARS! Jeez." THIS BOOK GETS 8 GRAHAMS OUT OF 10 By Jason
