The Frank Book

Plot

Since 1991, Jim Woodring’s lusciously rendered, hypnotic fables have dazzled readers the world over, and the recent runaway success of the Frank-co-starring graphic novel Weathercraft and the first true Frank graphic novel Congress of the Animals have only whetted readers’ appetites for more. In honor of the characters’ 20th anniversary and first graphic-novel length story, The Congress of the Animals, Fantagraphics is re-releasing the massive The Frank Book, which collects all the Frank material up to the mid-aughts, including several jaw-droppingly beautiful full-color stories, literally dozens of lushly-delineated black-and-white stories, and a treasure trove of covers and illustrations ― both in a new printing of the hardcover for bibliophiles, and the first edition of a new softcover for those on a budget.
