Jim Woodring is a human short-circuit between the shadowland of the collective unconscious and the realm of the visible image. His Jim comix enjoy a reputation both among aging boomers who got hooked during the underground comix era and among the skateboard-and-pierced-tongue connoisseurs of the very weirdest contemporary sequential art. Frank, Woodring's every-creature, inhabits an archetypal yet goofy visual hinterland, dreamscapes within dreamscapes. This is the conclusion the Frank adventure created expressly for the launch of HotWired.
