Congress Of The Animals

About this book

Readers of the "Frank" stories know that The Unifactor is in control of everything that happens to the characters that abide there and that however extreme the experiences they undergo may be in the end nothing really changes. That goes for treble for Frank himself who is kept in a state of total ineducability by the unseen forces of that haunted realm. And so the question arises: what would happen if Frank were to leave The Unifactor? The question is answered in Congress of the Animals Jim Woodrings much-anticipated second full-length graphic novel. In this gripping saga an act of casual rudeness sets into motion a chain of events which propels Frank into a world where he is on his own at last; and like so many who leave home Frank finds himself contending with realities of which he had no previous inkling. In Congress of the Animals we are treated to the pitiful spectacle of Frank losing his house taking a factory job falling in with bad company fleeing the results of sabotage escaping The Unifactor in an amusement park ride surviving a catastrophe at sea traveling across hostile terrain toward a massive temple seemingly built in his image being treated roughly by gut-faced men and intervening in an age-old battle in a meadow slathered in black and yellow blood. And when he finally knocks on opportunitys door he finds... he finds... The answer my friend is blowin into bookstores in April 2011.
