A review by puddingtaco
The Frank Book by Jim Woodring

4.0

I read Congress of Animals before this one and the contrast was interesting. These stories have some words to them, not really dialog, but signs and notes that spell things out for the read a bit more. The color pages take away from the texture that the black and white drawings have, but add a grotesqueness in return. Certainly the amount of blood in bright scarlet is a change! There is a series of "cards" in the back of the book that has character names and bios to help you understand the stories a bit more. Glad I read Congress of Animals first, to let it be pure and strange on it's own, but happy to know a bit more about the backstory. Great books!
