Jason Lutes (born December 7, 1967)〔("Jason Lutes" ) at Comic Creator〕 is an American comics creator. His work is mainly historical fiction, but he also works in traditional fiction. His work includes the ''Berlin'' series and ''Jar of Fools'', as well as ''The Fall'' (with Ed Brubaker), and many short pieces for anthologies and compilations. Lutes was born in New Jersey, but his family soon relocated to Missoula, Montana. In his early years, Lutes liked superhero comics, but a trip to France exposed him to European comics like ''The Adventures of Tintin'' and ''Asterix'', which he says greatly affected his style of drawing.〔 (Jason Lutes ) profile at Read Yourself RAW〕 Lutes went to college at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1991. He moved to Seattle after graduation, where he found work for the alternative comics publisher Fantagraphics, and eventually became art director of the alternative weekly ''The Stranger''.〔Jason Lutes (biography at his publisher, Drawn & Quarterly )〕 During this period, Lutes began writing and self-publishing his own comic work with Penny Dreadful Press. In 1993 Lutes began serializing a strip for ''The Stranger'', which was collected in 1996 in the critically acclaimed graphic novel ''Jar of Fools''. After two years of research, Lutes embarked on the ambitious comic book series ''Berlin'', an ongoing 24-chapter story set in the twilight years of Germany's Weimar Republic. When ''Berlins original publisher Black Eye Productions closed in 1998, Drawn & Quarterly took over the series. Lutes subsequently moved to Asheville, North Carolina, in October 2002;〔(Hulk vs. the Universe ), by Jason Lutes〕〔(Lutes at Forefront of Graphic Literature ), Asheville, NC Citizen-Times, Feb. 21 2003〕 this move forms the subject of his autobiographical ''Rules to Live By,'' collected in ''AutobioGraphix'' by Dark Horse Comics.〔(AutobioGraphix ), 2003, ISBN 978-1-59307-038-0〕 In 2007, Hyperion published the graphic novel ''Houdini: The Handcuff King,'' written by Lutes and illustrated by Nick Bertozzi.
