Jason Overby (born March 4, 1975, in Oklahoma city) is an American artist and critic associated with the art comics[1] and abstract comics movements. His work has appeared in online[2][3][4] and print media.[5] He is best known for his comic Jessica,[6][7] a fusion of art comics and autobiographical comics, his graphic novel Exploding Head Man (an existential supervillain story reminiscent of Gary Panter) which was listed as a notable selection of the year in the 2010 edition of The Best American Comics.,[8] and his strip, Apophenia which appeared in Abstract Comics: the Anthology published by Fantagraphics Books.[9][10]
Co-mix, which he started with Blaise Larmee in 2009 and closed in 2011, was a comics criticism blog that explored and collapsed distinctions between critic and creator.
In 2011 he began serializing the webcomic 2101.'"[11]
