![]() The book garnered enthusiastic praise from The Village Voice, the Austin American-Statesman, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and The A.V. In 2009, Fantagraphics released Pim & Francie: The Golden Bear Days, a miscellany of Columbia's divers Pim and Francie strips. Columbia's marginal fingermarks give the page a delightful aura of antiquity. It's all fun & games until Pim gets skewered. This page depicts Pim and Francie juggling knives. Excellent condition, mounted on black foam-core board to a size of 11x14", presumably by the artist.Ī wonderful page by Al Columbia, the brilliant but unprolific alternative comics star whose sensibility seems to encompass a range of influences from George Herriman to Fleischer Studios to Chris Ware, while remaining indisputably sui generis. Black and grey ink on paper, occasional white paint touch-ups, glazed and deliberately smudged at margins by the artist, measuring 8½x11" including margins. ![]()
