Jim

Collects Jim Woodring€s non-Frank comics work; stars €œJim.€

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
