R. Crumb's obsessions - from sex to the Bible, music, politics, and the vicissitudes and obscenities of daily life - are chronicled in this comprehensive book of work by the illustrious American comic artist. Presenting a slice of Crumb's unique universe, this book features a wide array of printed matter culled from the artist's five-decade career-tear sheets of drawings and comics taken directly from the publications where the works first appeared, magazine and album covers, broadsides from the 1960s and 1970s, tabloids from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, Oakland, Manhattan's Lower East Side, and other counterculture enclaves, as well as exhibition ephemera.
