COMPLETE CRUMB COMICS TP (2025)

"This long-unavailable first volume of the multiple awardwinning Complete Crumb Comics series, one of our most demanded reprints, has now been expanded to include a never-before-published, 48-page 'home-made' Arcade comic from 1962. This previously undiscovered work shows many flashes of the direction in which Crumb was heading and features the first quintessential 'Crumb girl,' Mabel. This is Ground Zero for perhaps the greatest cartoonist who ever lived."

"These early volumes of our multiple Harvey and Eisner Award-winning Complete Crumb Comics series have been amongst our most demanded reprints over the last few years.

Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 3 includes the stories that began to build the Crumb legend. Also includes rare art, some of Crumb's long-lost American Greeting cards from the '60s, and more. Plus, the story of Crumb's first acid trip!"

"by Robert Crumb 144 pages, SC, 8.5 x 11, PC, $19.99 Back in print after a several-year absence, this ninth volume spotlights Crumb's work from roughly 1972-1973, one of the more controversial periods of Crumb's career, notably due to this volume's title story, 'R. Crumb Vs. the Sisterhood,' Crumb's male fantasy rebuttal to his feminist critics. Another highlight is the little-seen 'Nut Factory Blues,' the dialogue of which is mainly taken from conversations and correspondence with his older brother Charles, who lived in a mental hospital at the time and was later immortalized in the Crumb documentary."

"Contains work from 1973 to 1975, including his work for the first four issues of Arcade magazine, his first issue of Dirty Laundry Comics, rare record artwork for Crumb's band, The Cheap Suit Serenaders, and much more."

"Back in print after a several-year absence, the twelfth volume of CCC spotlights Crumb's first collaborations with writer Harvey Pekar, which appeared in Pekar's magazine American splendor. This collection also includes a skeptical report-in-comics on an aerospace symposium (commissioned by CoEvolution Quarterly, it comes off like a forerunner of Michael Moore's cocky documentary films), Crumb's encounter with a pot-smoking interviewer from high Times magazine, an evocative period piece featuring 1930s jazz musicians, another of Crumb's collaborative 'jams' with wife Aline Kominsky, and other pieces. "

"Crumb's classic 'social and environmental' rants such as the now-famous 'A Short History of America' (12 panels charting the nation's progress from unspoiled landscape to strip mall wasteland), an early 'American Splendor' collaboration with Harvey Pekar and and a color section of covers Crumb drew for records by old-time blues and jazz musicians that beautifully convey his nostalgia for America's musical past. Plus the essential 'My Troubles with Women' and the very first 'Snoid' comics!"

"Another long out-of-print book, this one from Crumb's mid-1980s period, when he was cranking out masterpiece after masterpiece for Weirdo, such as the decidely disturbing 'Psychopathia Sexualis' and the old-fogey lament 'Where Has It Gone, All the Beautiful Music of Our Grandparents.' Plus strips featuring the fashion-conscious Mode O'Day, collaborations with Harvey Pekar and Charles Bukowski, strips from Zap Comics, rare illustration work, and an introduction from Peter Bagge."

"'Jelly Roll Morton's Voodoo Curse,' plus the 'Pioneers of Country Music' portrait series, Weirdo classics like 'The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick,' Hup #1 and more!"

"'Cave Wimp' covers the late 1980s and leads into the 1990s, a creatively fertile period for Crumb. Included are Crumb's contributions to Weirdo from this period, as well as work from Whole Earth Review, Zap Comix, Premiere magazine, and many other rare gems. Featured are classics including the title story - the story of the first nerd - and 'A Short History of America,' amongst others. Includes a new introduction by Crumb, full-color cover portfolio section and a new cover. "
