Full of quiet incidents, odd encounters, small triumphs, and the occasional setback, ON THE CAMINO is the first implicitly autobiographical long-form work by this master cartoonist. Featuring black \u0026amp; white illustrations throughout.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303359820149,"sku":"9781683960218","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781683960218_878bc756-8790-4361-915f-34048b934107.jpg?v=1786024868"},{"product_id":"9781683960089","title":"I Killed Adolf Hitler","description":"This 2008 Eisner and Harvey Award-winning classic, unavailable since 2014, is back in print in a newly designed edition! In this full-colour graphic novel, 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 heavily in demand. One such killer is given the unique job of travelling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go spectacularly wrong.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303630287221,"sku":"9781683960089","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781683960089_90ed5bcb-24c7-40e6-a425-0cd25c27b751.jpg?v=1786024866"},{"product_id":"9798875001253","title":"Death in Trieste","description":"The cartoonist known as Jason returns with a collection of three short graphic stories, connected by an absurdist thread, showcasing his idiosyncratic cultural obsessions, clear line style, and deadpan humour. The title story, 'Death in Trieste,' sets the scene in 1920s Berlin, a bustling cultural hotspot in the shadow of the coming Nazism. Here, a host of unlikely characters - time-travelling David Bowie, Rasputin, Nosferatu, Marlene Dietrich, and more - are all connected by a group of Dadaists who perform the art of rationality through madness. In 'The Magritte Affair,' a wisecracking pair of detectives must crack a case involving art forgeries, masked men, and mysterious disappearances - all linked to the surrealist world of the famous Belgian painter. Finally, in 'Sweet Dreams,' Jason reimagines the New Romantics of the 1980s as X-Men-esque superheroes. While this supergroup easily dispatches such supernatural threats as living mummies, animated suits of armour, and rampaging golems, they soon face their biggest challenge yet, as a giant meteorite hurtles toward the Earth.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311215063413,"sku":"9798875001253","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798875001253_8a835c61-effc-4a12-88e6-dc9aa5c7acd2.jpg?v=1786032949"},{"product_id":"if-you-steal","title":"If You Steal","description":"Mixing incongruous elements of pop culture in a variety of genres, If You Steal is a delightfully idiosyncratic collection of graphic vignettes. Frida Kahlo is a hired killer; Santo, a Mexican wrestling champion, faces his ultimate challenge; the rise and fall of Chet Baker in six pages; the last word on the JFK assassination theories; and much more, all presented in Jason's beguilingly deadpan style.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484167643509,"sku":"9781606998540","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781606998540.jpg?v=1786266208"},{"product_id":"upside-dawn","title":"Upside Dawn","description":"A dinner date devolves into a Dadaist farce.
