The Portable Frank
$16.99
11.38 euro
New from Fantagraphics!
"Frank, and I say this without a shred of hyperbole, is a work of true genius by one of the all-time greats."
---DANIEL CLOWES
THE PORTABLE FRANK is the perfect introduction to Jim Woodring's wildly inventive FRANK comics. Told almost entirely without words, the Frank stories can be enjoyed over and over as layers of meaning unfold with each perusal.
New readers will thrill to the transcendental pastimes of Frank, his scrappy demigodling companion Pupshaw and the craven Manhog as they scamper and scream through the living landscape of the Unifactor.
THE PORTABLE FRANK contains 190 pages of black-and-white stories including GENTLEMANHOG, FRANK'S HIGH HORSE, BLISS and ten other tales carefully selected from the pages of the massive collection THE FRANK BOOK.
The book is a truly portable 6.25" x 9" paperback, with new cover art and interior drawings, and includes an introduction by underground comic legend Justin Green (BINKY BROWN MEETS THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY.)

Seeing Things Paperback Edition
$16.95
11.36 euro
Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings take the otherworldly qualities of his comics (The Frank Book) to a higher level of clarity and nuance. These crisply rendered images reflect his life-long obsession with hidden worlds, alternate realities and the inexplicable resonance of the unprecedented and irrational in lucid art. Seeing Things collects the most toothsome of these drawings and arranges them in four sections. "Lazy Robinson" is a series of portraits of forms taken by a cognizant object during the course of a specific and identifiable stream of thought. "Frogs" celebrates the tender proclivities of the most noble of all animals, by placing them in situations that would dismay a horde of saints. "The Visible World" is a roundup of appalling scenes of sub-rational political activity involving catalytic entities with a high ratio of motivation to altruism. And "The Portfolio in Color" appears like a rainbow at the end of all this exalted storminess to send readers out into the world whistling with delight. As with the previous hardcover edition, the grimmest drawings have been left out of this collection.
104-page B&W and color 8 1/2" x 11"

When Frank tries to enlist Pupshaw and Pushpaw to help him dig up a repulsive plant that is marring the beauty of The Unifactor, the fun-loving tankheads vote with their paws and embark instead upon a spree of bullying mayhem. They are observed at this mean-spirited play by Little Skook, a celestial entity who makes a transdimensional journey to join them. Things quickly go awry and Pupshaw and Pushpaw find themselves in a terrifying world of flying, shrieking demons and bulbous-faced monsters. L.S. returns them to The Unifactor where they discover that their selfishness has been traumatized right out of them. 45 pps, all new material.
