Graphic Novel
Collects Jim Woodring’s non-Frank comics work; stars
“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. Black & white with 24 pages of color
