One Beautiful Spring Day [Paperback]

A mesmerizing, mind-bending, wordless 400 page comics odyssey by a contemporary master of the form. The effect is something like Dor? meets Dal?: stories of pure dream logic rendered as reverently as an etching of the infant Christ. Every surface emits a kind of otherworldly specificity, both resoundingly weird and as reassuringly solid as a drafting table. One epic story at the surreal dream crossroads of zaniness, pathos, and terror. ... an experience like no other in comics. A?complex, cohesive, deeply affecting epic. ... This hallucinatory adventure resonates with the intensity of raw self-disclosure.? Mr. Woodring [has] extraordinary gifts as a draftsman, storyteller and creator of hilarious characters and hallucinatory situations... Welcome to another voyage into the visceral sublime with Jim Woodring, whose uniquely mind-expanding narratives draw equally on Buster Keaton, Max Ernst, and an cross-section of our planet's DNA code apparently extracted in a secret hi-tech laboratory by the mad scientists who control our fates.
