Leading off with the eponymous novella-length thriller, "A Pocketful of rain" is drawn with realistic human beings instead of Jasons trademark blank-faced animal characters--a true revelation for longtime fans. This collection showcases three distinct styles: the artists earliest "realistic" drawing style (used to unsettling effect in some particularly creepy stories), an intermediate "bighead" cartoony style that still features humans (used for both humor and drama), and the "funny animal" style hes now best known for.

Readers who love Jasons anthropomorphic style wont be disappointed, though. Also included is several tales drawn in that fashion, featuring (among other things) Death, a guy waiting for a bus, and croquet-playing nuns; over 40 "daily strip" format gags; a trio of hilarious parodies of other pop media work including Corto Meowtese and an elaborate riff on Basil Wolvertons Spacehawk done Jason style; and much more.

This new and expanded edition also collects all the images from the limited Swedish edition of Pop!, a collection of Jasons wildly ingenious and graphically pixelated single page pop culture homages. Modern Art meets pop cult, channeled through Jasons keen sense of humor and atmosphere. In this gallery, readers see the cartoonists takes on Hopper, Magritte, and Kahlo; Moebius, Pratt, and Hergé; musicians like Tom Waits and David Bowie; and many more combinations, tributes, and send-ups. Of special interest are his delightfully ghoulish re-workings of Ernie Bushmillers Nancy, blending in works from David Lynch, Martin Scorseses Taxi Driver, and, of à prix réduit course, the paintings of Sluggo Picasso. Plus, a key to deciphering all of Jasons roguish and inspired takes.
