Weathercraft stars Manhog, who, after 32 pages of almost incomprehensible suffering, embarks upon a transformative journey and attains enlightenment. 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. The new and metaphysically expanded Manhog sets out for a final battle with Whim... Review: Deeper than you might think... - For those unfamiliar with the Frank series here's the basic idea... The stories are wordless and take place in a dreamlike world inhabited by a cast of strange characters, each one being a unique archetype (see the back cover for a brief description of each). FRANK is a cat/mouse-like anthropomorph, who is typically the central character. In Weathercraft, Man Hog is the star and Frank is a background character.... I have long been a fan of this series and my appreciation for Jim Woodring's draftsmanship and depth of storytelling continues to grow. Before actually reading Weathercraft, I was lucky enough to attend a book signing event where Jim Woodring gave a slide show presentation on his art. In response to a question during the Q&A he spoke at length about the meaning of a scene in the middle of the story where Man Hog sees a series of weird visions (or tableaus). I won't go into detail on what he said, but what he demonstrated is that far more thought and meaning is embedded in this story than the casual observer will realize. I have since bought and read Weathercraft. I read it closely and slowly. Then again.... and now three times, taking 45 minutes to an hour each reading. If you wanted to, you could read this story in ten minutes. But did you look at the creatures dressed as royalty, did you notice how their manipulations from afar affected Man Hog? Did you see that creature in the background? Did you notice the clues, the relationships, the recurring symbols, the causes and effects...? Sure, there are plenty of funny and cute and simple scenes in Weathercraft, but much like the films of Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch, readers willing to really delve deep will find this to be a rich work, executed with meticulous technical skill. Review: The antithesis of enlightenment - As usual; The frank series only spawns confusion that points us towards The elemental Zen, Not The zen of monks & temples ( ? ) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #830,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #355 in Fantagraphics Comics & Graphic Novels #1,048 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) #1,603 in New Age Mysticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 84 Reviews | ## Images ![Weathercraft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RSELrcIoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deeper than you might think... *by K***V on July 19, 2010* For those unfamiliar with the Frank series here's the basic idea...
