Jim Woodring Livres

In honor of Frank’s 20th anniversary Fantagraphics is re-releasing the massive, long out of print Frank Book omnibus, which collected all the Frank material up to the mid-aughts, including several jaw-droppingly beautiful full-color stories, literally dozens of lushly-delineated black-and-white stories, and a treasure trove of covers and illustrations. The Frank Book also features an introduction by one of Frank’s biggest fans (himself a Frank, or almost): Francis Ford Coppola.

This unique 400-page comic offers a captivating, wordless journey crafted by a contemporary master of the medium. The absence of text invites readers to immerse themselves fully in the intricate visuals and narrative, creating a mesmerizing experience that challenges traditional storytelling. The artwork itself serves as a powerful vehicle for emotion and imagination, making it a standout piece in the realm of graphic novels.

In a mountain resort in the Alps, Hitler built his 'Eagle's Nest' from which he conceived and directed the war.

Frank is, as everyone knows, Jim Woodring s best-selling cartoon character. Jim, on the other hand, is Woodring s cartoon alter ego, the fictional doppelganger who has for 30 years inhabited Woodring s alternate universe where shifting, phantasmagoric landscapes, abrupt, hallucinatory visual revelations, and unexpected eruptions of uninhibited verbal self-flagellation are commonplace. Jim is a mind-bending collection of all of Woodring s best non-Frank creative work comics stories, prose stories, drawings, and paintings, with a new introduction and afterword by the man himself. Abounding in metaphors if you choose to see them and naked self-disclosure if you don t, this volume of comics, prose, and images collected here for the first time is a bounty of Woodring s inspired artistry."

This collects Jim Woodring's choice and previously unpublished images and gag cartoons, created between 2009 and 2019 for his private amusement. This book features Woodring's familiar cast of characters from such canonical graphic novels as Poochytown, but with a twist! Woodring has enlisted the mysterious Walter Foxglove, The Smartest Artist (TM), to undertake the huge task of restoring to these images the notes, comments, and coarse jokes that accompanied their creation.

Fantagraphics is proud to present a new edition of Woodring's classic graphic novel.
