Jason Lutes (born July 12, 1967, in New Jersey) is an American comics creator. His work is mainly historic 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 some European comics, which he says greatly affected his style of drawing.
Lutes went to school at the Rhode Island School of Design, and, after some years, rediscovered in interest in comics. He began writing and publishing his own comic work under the Penny Dreadful Press. He soon moved on to larger projects, including his weekly strip-turned-graphic novel, Jar of Fools and his serialized history of Weimar Republic Berlin, starting in the 1920's.
