In this full-color graphic novel, Jason posits a strange, violent worldin which contract killers can be hired to rub out pests, be theydysfunctional relatives, abusive co-workers, loud neighbors, or justannoyances in general and as you might imagine, their services are inheavy demand. One such killer is given the unique job of traveling backin time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go spectacularlywrong. Hitler overpowers the would-be assassin and sends himself to thepresent, leaving the killer stranded in the past. The killer eventuallyfinds his way back to the present by simply waiting the decades out ashe ages, and teams up with his now much-younger girlfriend to trackdown the missing fascist dictator... at which point the book veersfurther into Jason territory, as the cartoonist's minimalist, wickedlydry sense of humor slows down the story to a crawl: for long patchesabsolutely nothing happens, but nobody can make nothing happening asriotously entertaining as Jason does... and finally, when the readerisn't paying attention, he brings it together with a shocking, perfectly logical and yet completely unexpected climax which alsosolves a mystery from the very beginning of the book the reader hadforgotten about. As always, I Killed Adolf Hitler is rendered in Jason's crisp deadpan neo-clear-line style, once again augmented by lovely, understated coloring.
