Pim & francie the golden bear days7/7/2023 Never have such colorful, imaginative vistas instilled such an atmosphere of dread, and with such a wicked sense of humor. Columbia’s brilliant, fairytale-like backdrops hint at further layers of reality lurking under every gingerbread house or behind every sunny afternoon. Their loosely defined relationship only contributes to the existential fear that lingers underneath the various perils they are subjected to. Collecting over a decade’s worth of ‘artifacts,’ excavations, comic strips, animation stills, storybook covers, and much more, this broken jigsaw puzzle of a book tells the story of Pim & Francie, a pair of childlike, male and female imps whose irresponsible antics get them into horrific, fantastic trouble. This gorgeous grimoire is part alchemy, part art book, part storybook, part comic book, and part conceptual art from the pen of Al Columbia, a longtime fan favorite contributor to comics anthologies like Zero Zero, Blab!, and more recently, Mome. 2010 Ignatz Award Nominee: Outstanding Graphic Novel, Outstanding Artist (Al Columbia)Ī "Notable Comic" in The Best American Comics 2011
