Jason has unveiled the cover of his new publication Jason Conquers America.
Fantagraphics Books' 32-page one-shot will be released in October.
It celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Norwegian superstar cartoonist's first US-published work.
"Celebrating 10 years of Jason being published in the US, this comic-book-format one-shot is a Jason fan's dream," said Fantagraphics, "with lots of previously unpublished Jason strips and artwork, an interview with Jason's colourist Hubert, a checklist of all Jason's books, a Q&A with the man himself, and a visual tributes gallery by several American cartoonists to the towering, taciturn Norwegian genius including Michael Allred, Kim Deitch, and Rich Tommaso."
The award-winning cartoonist - whose full name is John Arne Sæterøy - is known for his sparse drawing style and his silent, anthropomorphic characters.
His previous works include Werewolves of Montpellier, Low Moon, I Killed Adolf Hitler and his most recent publication, Isle of 100,000 Graves.
