The Frank Book [Paperback]

Since 1991, Jim Woodrings lusciously rendered, hypnotic fables have dazzled readers the world over, and the runaway success of the Frank-co-starring graphic novelThe definitive collection of Jim Woodringsmysterious anthropomorph! Over the last few decades, Jim Woodring has been drawing a series of wordless, blissfully cruelslapstick fables, set in a world of grotesque entities and psychedelic minarets: half unshakablenightmare, half Chuck Jones cartoon filtered through the Bhagavad Gita. Woodring is fantastic... his stuff will outlast all but one in a thousand of his peers. His stuff is arevelation. Woodring suggests that each strip is intended to be a mystery but that one concept runs through each one, like a sort of moral. . . this obscurity and strangeness is a large part of what gives the book its charm.
