The Last Musketeer

In 2007, Fantagraphics published a single-issue comic by Norwegian cartoonist Jason, co-scripted with Kim Thompson, that reimagines Alexandre Dumas’s swashbuckling heroes as anthropomorphic animals in a quiet, deadpan world. The Last Musketeer distills Jason’s signature style—clean lines, silent-movie pacing, and melancholic humor—into a poignant, self-contained story about aging, memory, and the end of an era. Though brief, it stands as a charming, atypical entry in Jason’s body of work, offering a tender farewell to the classic musketeer mythos.
