Description:
Neil Gaiman says that Jim Woodring's Frank will "take you to another world, rearrange your consciousness, and reprogram the inside of your head." You might think the description is fitting for any good literature, but this comic book is particularly adept at fulfilling that promise. Frank, which features stories from Woodring's and Mark Martin's series of children's comics, Tantalizing Stories, is written in what could be called the language of the subconscious. Frank is told against a landscape of recurring images and icons that are both foreign and familiar, and is almost entirely wordless except for occasional closing quotes--"Hush, now." or "His father was a great machine."--that serve as meditative tidbits. Don't expect to understand any of these stories in a traditionally narrative sense; instead, they appeal directly to the soul.
