Frank #1

"Frank in The River" kicks off Jim Woodring’s surreal, dreamlike exploration of the eponymous character with a quiet, unsettling precision. As Frank tends his garden and drifts into a strange dream of being crushed by a tree, the line between reality and the uncanny blurs—leading him to a mysterious party at the House of Mystery, where the invitation itself feels like a portent. The full scope of the journey remains elusive, but Woodring’s distinctive, hand-drawn world—rendered in his own pencils, inks, and letters—anchors every page in a uniquely personal, off-kilter vision.
