review 1: The line work alone makes this a marvel, but it is particularly fascinating for the little story of love and loss it relates, but it is especially fascinating for the way it complements and completes Congress of Animals, which was a bit of a puzzle plot-wise before. I think Fran works better as a stand-alone story, but anyone who can read both should, though I do not know if a particular order needs to be observed, as it is something of a mobius strip.
review 2: A companion volume to Congress of the Animals (from the same author), Fran completes a circular journey of discovery, a process that is new for Frank, Woodring's best-known protagonist. Where the previous volume ended on something of a happy note, the beginning of Fran reveals that there has simply be... moreen a pause in the flow of events, and there are many adventures and predicaments to be experienced before Frank can find his way home again. Once again, Woodring extends the possibilities of the graphic novel format, and the reader cannot help but be simultaneously comforted and overwhelmed by the author's extraordinary vision. less
