Jim Woodring’s silent, signature character explores the Unifactor’s third dimension in this exquisite graphic novel.
Frank In The 3rd Dimension is a series of Jim Woodring’s loveliest pictures — 32 anecdotal visual vignettes, dioramas, moments pickled in time — as you’ve never seen Frank before: in 3D, about as real as you can get him outside of an Ionescoian theatrical performance (which could be next — watch your local theater listings). Frank and Frank’s world are already hallucinatory, but seeing him in the most technologically advanced and artistically crafted 3D ever produced—more than 150 layers per drawing to round and “sculpt” each image into full, volumetric 3D — is an experience that has to be savored to be believed.
Packaged with 3D glasses designed by Woodring himself, this new printing brings one of our most requested titles back into print again.
Praise
"Even readers who have grown accustomed to the weirdness of the Unifactor – the dreamlike world where Woodring's cast of bizarre characters has long resided – have never seen it look quite as incredible as it does in Frank In The 3rd Dimension." — Booklist
"The meticulous, surreal cartoons of Jim Woodring are some of the most highly regarded in comics today. ...Frank's world – called the Unifactor – is terrifying and bizarre... Woodring's new book, Frank In The 3rd Dimension, takes the character to new heights of strangeness. The volume is in old-fashioned 3D, with cardboard red-blue glasses designed by Woodring himself." — The Guardian
"Mr. Woodring [has] extraordinary gifts as a draftsman, storyteller and creator of hilarious characters and hallucinatory situations..." — The New York Times
