Publisher's Synopsis

Welcome to the world of Frank, an 11-year-old generic anthropomorph who lies in a force-laden landscaped called the Unifactor. Curious and naive, but not smart or noble, Frankand his semi-subservient housedog-like godling inhabit a unique and hallucinatory mindscape, told in almost entirely wordless, brilliant candy coloured stories that allure people of all ages. Here, in one lavish volume are every single one of these hypnotic fables - a decorative object and a repository of storytelling genius.

About the Publisher

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.
