New Woodring graphic novel, WEATHERCRAFT, due in April!

I am an absolute, raving fanatic for the work of Jim Woodring. His surreal comics always stir-fry my brains, in the best way. I snap up his work as soon as it comes out, so I don't know how I've gone this long without hearing about Weathercraft, his upcoming graphic novel.

The book's story is set in Woodring's surreal, wordless Frank universe, and apparently Frank himself only plays a small role while his longtime pal/enemy Manhog takes center stage. This site offers a preview, including a couple of sample pages and a spoiler-heavy synopsis. The book is due to hit stores in April.
