Jason A. Quest is an openly bisexual American comics creator. He is best known for his "bio-porno-graphic novel" JAQrabbit Tales.

Biography edit

Quest was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he attended the public schools. He attended a local Christian liberal-arts college, and later took classes at Kendall College of Art and Design.

In 2009, Quest created the web site Neverpedia.com, a reference to the work of J.M. Barrie and the mythos of Peter Pan. The site drew its initial content from Wikipedia, supplemented with material which was considered too "trivial" and "unencyclopedic" for Wikipedia.

In 2010, Quest began serializing Fetus Christ, a short story satirizing religious opposition to family planning, by answering the rhetorical question "What if the Virgin Mary had an abortion?" The story ran weekly from Christmas 2010 to Easter 2011. He followed this by serializing Captain Miracle, illustrated by Ozzy Longoria. This story was another religious satire, featuring a superhero who received his powers from the Christian God.

In 2014, he launched JAQrabbit Tales, an ongoing comics series about a fictionalized version of himself. The series features short episodes written by Quest and illustrated by himself and a variety of guest artists, including Tom Bouden, Choklit Daddy, Drubskin, J. Marshall Freeman, Marvin Mann, Zlatan Marić, John Roberson, Tim Twelves, and Rick Worley.

His collaboration with writer Dale Lazarov Everybody's Doin' It! was selected for Cleis Press' Best Gay Erotica 2014. He has had comics published in RFD magazine, Northwest Press' Anything That Loves, and other anthologies.

Quest was featured as a panelist at the 2017 and 2019 "Queers and Comics" conferences held at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

In addition to his own projects, he has done coloring, lettering, and other production work for clients.
