Publisher's Synopsis

Problematic offers readers a unique tour of the inner world of Jim Woodring through a series of unfiltered sketches straight from the mind of the comic genius. Problematic compiles the best of Woodring's conceptual work, revealing figure studies, self challenges, revenge portraits and withering caricatures... everything goes in. This volume is tantalising untameable; readers would expect nothing less from a man described by Publisher's Weekly as a modern master of hallucinatory cartoon fables.''

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
