6/26/2023 0 Comments Weathercraft by Jim Woodring![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finalist, 2010 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Graphic Novels Named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2010 Ranked #6 on 's Best Graphic Novels of 2010 "Weathercraft is a magnificent and slightly wicked little book: a whimsical farce about some of the nastiest, darkest metaphysical stuff there is, a banquet for the eyes that starts growing tendrils once it's inside you." ? Douglas Wolk, Publishers Weekly. The new and metaphysically expanded Manhog sets out for a final battle with Whim. He wants to go to celestial realms but instead altruistically returns to the unifactor to undo a wrong he has inadvertently brought about: The transformation of the evil politician Whim into a mind-destroying plant-demon who distorts and enslaves Frank and his friends. Jim Woodring (born 1952) started drawing minicomics for his own amusement in the 80s while working as an animator. After enduring 32 pages of almost incomprehensible suffering, Manhog embarks upon a transformative journey and attains enlightenment. As it happens, Frank has only a brief supporting appearance in Weathercraft, which actually stars Manhog, Woodring's pathetic, brutish everyman (or everyhog). Weathercraft is Woodrings first full-length graphic novel set in this world-indeed, Woodrings first graphic novel, period-and it features the same hypnotically gorgeous linework and mystical iconography. Weathercraft is Woodring's first full-length graphic novel set in the world of his most beloved character, Frank - indeed, Woodring's first graphic novel, period! - and it features the same hypnotically-gorgeous linework and mystical iconography.
