Internationally acclaimed cartoonist Jason's first full-length graphic memoir is about his experiences walking a 500-mile pilgrimage for his 50th birthday.
Northwestern Spain, observed with the eye of an artist, chronicling both the good (people, conversations) and the bad (blisters, bedbugs) he encountered on his journey. Full of quiet incidents, odd encounters, small triumphs, and the occasional setback, On the Camino is the first implicitly autobiographical long-form work by a master cartoonist.
