Jim Book of the Dead

A singular, surrealist artifact from 1983, this one-issue comic represents the earliest published work of acclaimed cartoonist Jim Woodring. Published under his own imprint, it already displays the hallucinatory, wordless storytelling and distinctive, rubbery linework that would define his later, more famous creations. A fascinating document of an artist finding his unique voice, Jim Book of the Dead is a must for students of Woodring's evolution and fans of abstract, visionary comics.
