Jim
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.
Seeing Things
Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings take the otherworldly qualities of his comics (The Frank Book) to a higher level of clarity and nuance. SEEING THINGS collects the most toothsome of these drawings and arranges them in four sections. 'Lazy Robinson', 'Frogs', 'The Visible World' and 'Portfolio in Colour'. As with the previous hardcover edition, the grimmest drawings have been left out of this collection. There is nothing here that will upset the adventurous connoisseur of mysterio autentico, but there are unique, glowing additions to Woodring's fine art oeuvre.
Weathercraft
For over 20 years now, Jim Woodring has delighted, touched, and puzzled readers around the world with his lush, wordless tales of “Frank.” Weathercraft is Woodring’s first full-length graphic novel set in this world—indeed, Woodring’s first graphic novel, period!—and it features the same hypnotically gorgeous linework and mystical iconography. As it happens, Frank has only a brief supporting appearance in Weathercraft, which actually stars Manhog, Woodring’s pathetic, brutish everyman (or everyhog), who had previously made several appearances in “Frank” stories (as well as a stunning solo turn in the short story “Gentlemanhog”). After enduring 32 pages of almost incompr...
"And Now, Sir... Is This Your Missing Gonad?"
This collects Jim Woodring's choice and previously unpublished images and gag cartoons, created between 2009 and 2019 for his private amusement.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.
Poochytown
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.
Congress of the Animals
Readers of the “Frank” stories know that The Unifactor is in control of everything that happens to the characters that abide there, and that however extreme the experiences they undergo may be, in the end nothing really changes. That goes treble for Frank himself, who is kept in a state of total ineducability by the unseen forces of that haunted realm. And so the question arises: what would happen if Frank were to leave The Unifactor? That question is answered in Congress of the Animals, Jim Woodring's much-anticipated second full-length graphic novel, and first starring his signature character Frank.
Pupshaw & Pushpaw
A colorful children's book by cartoonist, Jim Woodring. Two characters from his well-known comic series, Frank, set out on a fun-filled day of adventure. It is a book with no words, just pictures.
The Book of Jim
The book of Jim fills the gap left between Betty Crocker and Hieronymous Bosch.' - Robert Williams 'Jim Woodring's stories manage, by some occult means, to be at once unsettlingly alien and intimately familiar. The effect is not unlike opening a new book to find the illustrated account of a dream you had when you were five and told no one about. Cryptic and haunting, Woodring's work evokes a sense of something important and forgotten. Easily the most hypnotic talent to enter the field in years.' - Alan Moore'
