Publisher's Synopsis

Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings take the otherworldly qualities of his comics to a higher level of clarity and nuance. These crisply rendered images reflect his life-long obsession with hidden worlds and alternate realities. This book collects the most toothsome of these drawings and arranges them in four sections, Lazy Robinson', 'Frogs', 'The Visible World' and 'Portfolio in Colour'. This is a collection of echoless, glowing furniture to add to that already crowded storeroom which is briefly, but brilliantly, illuminated in this stately book.'

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
