Get ready to turn your world upside down, literally. Clover Press is collaborating with award-winning creative director Jim Fletcher on Flippitoons: The Field Guide of Fantastical Faces, a 200-page deluxe hardcover art book on Backerkit. Known for his groundbreaking work with DC Direct—where he helped create fan-favorite collectibles like DC Bombshells and Batman Black and White—Fletcher is unveiling a brand-new universe of peculiar, playful creatures.
So what are Flippitoons? As Fletcher tells it, they’re strange beings he stumbled upon while sketching, creatures that reveal entirely different faces when flipped upside down. Inspired by this bizarre discovery, Fletcher created a whole field of “Oddibiology,” the (definitely questionable) science of studying odd things. This book, which catalogues over 100 of these dual-faced beings, serves as Fletcher’s first official guide to the Flippi-verse.
Inside, readers will find character illustrations paired with clever rhyming descriptions, readable from any orientation. The fun doesn’t stop at the page—Fletcher and his team have also designed collectible trading cards and short animated “Flippimations” for each creature, complete with original music that captures their quirky personalities.
“Jim’s brain works on another level,” joked Clover Press Publisher Hank Kanalz. “He’s created iconic DC collectibles and now he’s back with something even more bonkers—and incredibly fun.”
Updates for Flippitoons and sneak peeks will be available across Clover Press’s social media channels. Whether you read it right side up or upside down, this Odditome promises to be a one-of-a-kind visual trip into the delightfully bizarre.
