The Portable Frank
published by Fantagraphics

If you read comics you owe it to yourself to read The Portable Frank, which contains some of the most powerful sequences of images ever produced.  The 14 classic black-and-white tales that make up the 200 pages of this vital tome will take its readers into the deepest caves of their psyche, tapping into genetic memories that reamain hidden and unreachable to other forms of communication.  The wordless, "silent" Frank tales are comics at its purest.  These are comics that can be read again and again and again and still be fresh each time, for they are  inexhaustable, like some sort of magic book of comics that is refilled each time you open it, always the same yet always new; ur-comics.  Take a peek at the book by visiting this page on Flickr.  (Long time Frank fans, please note:  most [all?] of these stories are also contained in its precursor, the mammoth mind-bender, The Frank Book, which also contains all the full color Frank tales.  But, to be perfectly honest, they look better here on the flat white paper stock, than they do on the glossy clay-coated stock of The Frank Book, which was more suitable for the full color pieces.)
