There’s never too much in a panel or too little - it’s always measured just right. The art is very crisp, clean, spare and, to me anyway, absolutely perfect, especially with Hubert’s lovely colours. The panels feature animal-headed characters eating lunch or taking a walk or just standing there, and the story never hurries along or takes longer than it does to tell a scene, but is never boring. This book is laid out in 8-panel grids and tells its story in under 50 pages. There’s something very zen and pleasantly surreal about Jason’s comics. Jason explores their strangely altered relationship as realistically as the situation allows and the romance feels real and never melodramatic or underplayed. The real focus of the book is the relationship between the hitman and his girlfriend though, as he was stuck in the past and had to wait 50 years to pick up where they left off, he’s now old enough to be her grandfather. Other than that, it’s your usual Jason book which is to say, profound and moving but totally deadpan and funny. Like all of Jason’s books, I Killed Adolf Hitler is wonderful but, re-reading it years later, one detail stuck out to me that hadn’t before: why did the hitman travel to a time when Hitler was in power rather than his starving artist years when no-one knew who he was? Or even better, when he was a baby? Killing him then would be simple as there’d be no lackeys around to stop him completing the hit! What becomes of them both, and what of the love of his life that the hitman leaves in the future? Set in a world where assassinations are a legit business, a hitman is given the biggest job of his career: kill Adolf Hitler! But the job goes wrong and Hitler makes it to the future, stranding the hitman in the past. Only Norwegian artist Jason could tell a turbulent love story and somehow work in a plot to travel back in time and kill Hitler.
