The Iron Wagon

A single-issue comic published by Fantagraphics in 2003, The Iron Wagon is a moody, wordless crime story created by Norwegian cartoonist Jason, with translation by Kim Thompson. Loosely inspired by a Stein Riverton novel, the book follows a mysterious stranger who arrives in a small town and becomes entangled in a web of violence and secrets. Jason’s signature deadpan, anthropomorphic-animal style gives the noir tale a cool, timeless quality, making it a distinctive entry in his acclaimed body of work.
