| 1. The Portable Frank |

By: Jim Woodring

September 15, 2008
I had to laugh upon reading the product description for Jim Woodring's THE PORTABLE FRANK, as that one paragraph provides more detail on Frank and his world than I've been able to glean from almost 15 years of reading these stories. This book collects 14 of Woodring's black and white tales featuring his anthropomorphic whatsit under one compact cover. They are wordless, meandering, and hallucinatory... more

By: Jim Woodring
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
March 14, 2007
Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings are images that come from his interest in hidden worlds and lucid art - and SEEING THINGS gathers some of the most intriguing, arranging them in sections by topic: Visible World, Lazy Robinson, Frogs and Color. 'Color' by far seems the most exciting, dramatizing the drawings and providing eye-catching involvement in the symbolism of the unseen - while the black and... more

| 5. Trosper |
|
By: Jim Woodring, Bill Frisell
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
February 15, 2002
I looked at "Trosper" as a win-win situation since I like Bill Frisell and I am a new parent. As of this writing, my daughter is almost 17 months old and I haven't shown this book to her yet. The pages aren't toddler friendly. But I also hesitate because of the dark undercurrent of the "story."
As others have already said, there is an inferred story to this book. No text, just pictures... more

| 6. Frank Vol. 1 |
|
By: Jim Woodring
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
December 17, 2000
These books (since this review will show up under Frank vol. 1 and Frank vol. 2) are amazing. Wordless stories drawn in all different styles, always beautiful. The comparison to Krazy Kat is certainly apropos. These stories usually involve just a few key characters playing off each other in each story in different and fascinating ways every time. Manhog, the loser; Jerry Chicken, the mercant; Pupshaw... more

| 7. Oneiric Diary (Dark Horse Deluxe Journal: Jim Woodring Dream) |

By: Jim Woodring
Publisher: Dark Horse
October 22, 2003
I am disappointed in the description of this item. This is a blank book, for notes about your own dreams. If that is what you are after, this is a great book! If you're looking for Jim Woodring illustrations, you will be let down. The pages are illustrated, with faint printing that is easy to write over. The handfull of illustrations are reused multiple times... more

January 01, 2001
When it comes right down to it, what can you say about Jim Woodring's work? I mean, how can you articulate the rather slippery moods and thoughts engendered by this compelling collection of comics and zen prose? There's nothing I can say. You really have to experince it first hand. For those who aren't afraid to root around in some of the deepest, darkest, oddest corners of the subconscious (Jim's... more

| 9. Jim Woodring Pupshaw And Pushpaw #1 |
|
By: Jim Woodring
By: Jim Woodring
Publisher: Presspop Gallery
September 08, 2004
"Pupshaw & Pushpaw" is a journey into an enchanted world of surrealism. So what exactly are these two thingamajiggers? While only Woodring may know for sure, all we need to know is they are delightful. In this adorable book, the two go for an adventure. Along the way, they meet all sorts of bizarre characters. At one point, Pupshaw transfigures himself into an even stranger creature. Not to worry... more
