Jim Woodring lives on Vashon Island in Washington State's Puget Sound with his wife, Mary. The recipient of numerous award -- including The Stranger's Genius Award for Literature -- he is an animator and a fine artist as well as a cartoonist.
...Mr. Woodring [has] extraordinary gifts as a draftsman, storyteller and creator of hilarious characters and hallucinatory situations.... Over the nearly 100 pages of Fran, Frank goes on a picaresque, surrealistic journey to try to retrieve his lost love in a world populated by all kinds of monsters, demons, and bizarre objects and architecture. Its black-and-white sequences of frames are drawn in a style that owes something to antique European woodcuts, Walt Disney, Looney Tunes and R. Crumb and other underground, psychedelic comic artists who emerged in the 1960s.--Ken Johnson "The New York Times"
