This collects Jim Woodring's choice and previously unpublished images and gag cartoons, created between 2009 and 2019 for his private amusement.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.

When Pupshaw and Pushpaw depart for the orgiastic delights of Poochytown, the forlorn Frank is thrown by a twist of fate into an unlikely friendship, propelling him down a long road of escapades and trials that ends in one of the most shocking acts ever depicted in the Frank canon.

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

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."

En 2010 varias de las más prestigiosas publicaciones norteamericanas (entre ellas, Time, Publishers Weekly y Los Angeles Times) incluyeron estas Filigranas del Clima (Weathercraft) en su lista de los diez mejores libros del año. La primera novela gráfica de Jim Woodring relata el viaje iniciático de Manhog, antagonista de Frank, a través de innumerables e hilarantes desventuras, hacia la iluminación. Por supuesto, la nómina de personajes incluye al indolente antihéroe Frank y a sus adorables mascotas, Pupshaw y Pushpaw, junto a otros habituales del universo de Woodring, que entrega aquí una introducción inmejorable a su obra y su libro más completo hasta la fecha.

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.

Collects sixteen short Star Wars tales featuring droids, Mara Jade, Jedis, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Han Solo, and Jabba the Hutt. Stories are set in the Star Wars universe
