A zombie story like no other I've seen
28 Oct 2007
By Tom Knapp
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Told in Norwegian artist Jason's trademark style -- stark black-and-white drawings, anthropomorphized characters, action almost entirely without dialogue -- the story imparts a great deal of thought and emotion, horror, humor and, yes, even romance.
The Living & the Dead is remarkably lacking in gore, so far as zombie tales go -- although you will be treated to scenes of the undead noshing on a baby, a pimp and the occasional restaurant patron. The story has some sense of urgency, but it unfolds at a relaxed pace -- and the expressiveness of Jason's characters is delightfully wrought.
And the ending is about as touching as a zombie story possibly can be.

Jason Comics
19 Mar 2007
By Jason Oak Ritchie
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'll have to say that this artist has a way with the graphic art form that I feel few others have demontrated thus far in the genre. The sincerity conveyed through simplicity in order to portray a wonderful series of elements that characterise the human condition is refreshing...not to mention that zombies, mummies and monsters in general NEED to be in our lives!

A zombie love story.
17 Dec 2010
By Jeremy Weissenburger
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jason is a graphic novelist who I have enjoyed since "The Left Bank Gang." I have been going back to find any of his work I could, all with anthropomorphic characters.
The Living and the Dead is a love story set during the zombie apocalypse. Will our hero be able to get the girl before they become the undead?
Many of Jason's stories are low on narration, so they are very quick reads. This makes buying them at the full price rather distressing at times. If you can, try to get these at a lower price. The stories are great and well-written, but go by very fast.
