Chicken Fat

A slim but distinctive one-shot from Fantagraphics, Chicken Fat (2006) collects a single issue of offbeat, creator-driven work. The series is best known for its association with cartoonist Jim Woodring, whose surreal, wordless "Frank" stories anchor the volume. It matters as a snapshot of the alternative-comics scene of the mid-2000s, showcasing the publisher's commitment to idiosyncratic, art-focused storytelling.
