A cartoonist begins an introspective journey in this On The Camino exclusive
Norwegian cartoonist Jason is internationally renowned for his minimalist, deadpan comics starring anthropomorphized animal characters, but he’s doing something different with his latest Fantagraphics graphic novel. His visual style isn’t changing, but the subject matter is—for the first time ever, Jason is bringing his own life to the page with the autobiographical On The Camino. This travelogue recounts the highs and lows of his experience walking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago in Spain for his 50th birthday, and it’s an immersive exploration of the pilgrimage route that splits time between Jason on his own and interacting with other travelers along the way.
