Overview

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.

Reviews

What these stories... share with the Frank-related comics is Woodring's lush but expressively cartoonish drawing style... Woodring's Frank comics subtly burrow their way into your subconscious, but the Jim stories work a similar magic in an only slightly more straightforward and accessible fashion. --Gordon Flagg


Woodring s art has captivated hundreds of thousands over the decades, and with good reason: his style is unique is every single way, and his acid-trippy stories are incredibly entertaining. ... Seeing his fictional self stumble into situations or adventures is really enjoyable, and the collection as a whole reminds readers why he s such a master of the craft. --Cameron Hatheway
