This book is classic Campbell, and more approachable than his officially authored books. “Pathways” is part of The Joseph Campbell Collection, a series of books edited together from various lectures, manuscripts, and articles over the course of two decades. It carries the engaging tones and rhythms of his lectures and is a fun and easy read.
I first picked up this book in hopes of finding a guide to practical guide to applying Campbell’s ideas. While the book offers very little of this, there are one or two short sections which offer a taste of just that. That, in addition to the insight that Campbell offers to understanding psychology, society, and the symbols of the soul, makes this and incredibly satisfying read.

This is the follow-up collection of the misadventures of the curious anthropomorph, Frank, as he stumbles through Jim Woodring’s whimsical and terrifying omniverse. One most peculiar anomaly is misadventure featuring the vile ManHog which is fully narrated (with words) – how strange. The overall feeling is subtly different than the first collection, but retains the dreamlike wonder inherent in these strange adventures. A gem in any collection of graphic whimsy.
Frank embodies the anthropomorphic archetype for innocence without nobility. This exquisite collection of wordless adventures follows Frank through Jim Woodring’s dreamlike Omniverse - a reality where nothing bad can ever happen because it already has. This is where terror and whimsy come together to spawn some of the most inspired and inspiring stories you'll ever see.
