In 1992 Jim Woodring released the wordless cartoon fable FRANK IN THE RIVER, introducing adventurous readers to the gormless anthropomorph Frank, his creepy nemesis Manhog and the power-mad world of The Unifactor. FRANK IN THE RIVER won several industry awards and was hailed as an instant classic.
Since then Woodring has drawn hundreds of pages of Frank adventures, each story bringing new characters and circumstances into this ever-expanding realm of wonders. During this time Frank has been celebrated in animated films, musical compositions, toys and figurines, tattoos, furniture, videos and clothing.
And yet it is only now that Woodring has released the first bona fide Frank graphic novel, WEATHERCRAFT, a single hundred-page story that takes readers more deeply into the labyrinthine depths of the Unifactor than any previous outing.
In WEATHERCRAFT Manhog takes center stage as he experiences extremes of agony and exaltation brought into being by the occult machinations of two grotesque crones who twist and rip the fabric of reality with their ritual manipulations.
Dense, intense and loaded with strange, meaningful fun, WEATHERCRAFT is a book to savored over and over, at different ages and in different circumstances, until the last obscuring reverberation dies out and the Unifactor's secrets are part of your personal reality.
WEATHERCRAFT is a beautifully-made book, printed on thick tinted paper and bound in durable green library cloth with a handsome dust-jacket bursting with useful information about the characters and the story. There is even a FAQ section!
You may buy WEATHERCRAFT here in two forms: unadorned, or with an original ink drawing of Manhog on the flyleaf. Either way you'll be getting a hell of a good deal!
WEATHERCRAFT by Jim Woodring, published by Fantagraphics Books.
104 pages, 9.75" x 7.34", hardbound with dust jacket and color endpapers.

The Portable Frank
$16.99
13.59 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
13.56 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"
