Good Night, Hem

In Good Night, Hem, Jason spins a quiet, melancholic tale of a lonely vampire navigating the oddities of modern life, rendered in his signature clean, deadpan style. Published by Fantagraphics in 2021, this single-issue comic distills the Norwegian cartoonist’s trademark blend of deadpan humor and existential longing into a compact, poignant story. It matters as a perfect entry point for readers new to Jason’s world—a masterclass in saying more with fewer words and simpler drawings.
