false <![CDATA[The Last Musketeer]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1203553076m/2199856.jpg 2199856 1 A unique mash-up of Alex (Three Musketeers) Dumas and Alex (Flash Gordon) Raymond. After his existential thriller (Why Are You Doing This?), his Parisian famous-writers crime caper (The Left Bank Gang), and his time-travel story (I Killed Adolf Hitler), Jason's fourth full-color album may feature his loopiest premise yet. Set in the present, The Last Musketeer stars the by-now centuries old (for no explained reason...and it doesn't matter) musketeer Athos, who has been reduced to a suavely dressed but useless near-panhandler trading on his now almost extinct fame. (Aramis has forsaken his musketeering ways, and Porthos...well, Porthos isn't around any more. Don't ask.) All this changes when one day the Martians attack Earth. Suddenly there is a need for swashes to be buckled, and Athos leaps back into the fray with a vengeance. Robots, evil alien emperors, beautiful alien princesses, rayguns vs. swords, treachery, secret corridors, insanely cool-looking robots...The Last Musketeer is vintage sci-fi adventure with a unique twist from an internationally acclaimed cartoonist. 2205612 31 1 2008 The Last Musketeer total:161|5:1|4:4|3:3|2:0|1:0| 161 625 196 25 4 0 false false Sat Jan 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 15:31:32 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 15:34:41 -0800 2009

Seriously, just...

Jason tells this story with a beautiful simplicity; his artwork and his story are both sparse yet rich.

Seriously, I cannot recommend this book enough. It's charming, sweet, touching, and a whole lo...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 10:37:52 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 10:44:57 -0700 2008 I Killed Adolf Hitler, but still imaginative and clever.
