"Crazy + Genius = Shiga" - Scott McCloud

"If you get stuck in a phone booth with Jason Shiga, you might survive" - Giant Robot Magazine

"His drawing, and his wit, makes his projects not just an exercise in the amazing untapped technical aspects of comic but a uniquely satisfying reading experience." - The Comics Journal

"As a creator of comics that can be at once funny, disturbing, thoughtful, deconstructed and cleverly put together, Jason Shiga deserves wider recognition, and not the kind you get when you commit suicide in a mental institution." - Andrew Arnold, Time Magazine

Jason Shiga
Reclusive math genius Jason Shiga vanished from world attention on the verge of his most amazing breakthrough in June 1967. Twenty years later he resurfaced, having abandoned his scientific background for, of all things, comic books. With Bookhunter, Jason Shiga, author of such classics as Fleep and Double Happiness, takes center stage as America's most numerate cartoonist. He is truly that great!
