Book and dust jacket look nearly new. The only flaw is s speck of dirt on the top page edge and a pin hole size nick on the front dust jacket. The cover says there is a Free! C.D. Inside! but there is not.

About this title

Synopsis

The only underground cartoonist to be accepted by the fine art world, the R.Crumb Handbook is divided into the four enemies of man: FEAR, CLARITY, POWER, OLD AGE. Working with his old drinking buddy and co-author Pete Poplaski, the four chapters are easily digested. With over 400 pages of cartoons and photographs, Crumb s often controversially-regarded views toward Disneyland, growing up in America, hippie love, art galleries, and turning 60 are revealed. By tracing his development as a cartoonist from his tormented childhood in the 1940s through to his coming of age as an artist in the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s, Robert Crumb visually treats us to the pressures and influences that the modern mass media has on human consciousness, and includes over 80 personal photographs, and 300 images taken from personal sketchbooks and comic books, as well as fine art from museums. For the serious student of late capitalist culture and the thousands of Crumb enthusiasts everywhere this book is indispensable.
