The Frank Book by Jim Woodring is one of the best comics I've read in a long time. The beautiful art mixes humor and horror in a way reminiscent of old fairy tales. Frank, a kind of cat like being, gets into all kinds of trouble with Manhog and Whim only to be saved by his faithful friend Pupshaw. Woodring does fantastic drawings and uses few words. I found the creatures, buildings and themes reminding me of many things, but it is very original work. I will be looking for more stuff from Jim Woodring after reading this.
