The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book - Deluxe Slipcased with Signed Print

Not all of Crumb's work has aged gracefully. His limited knowledge of perspective and anatomy reveals his lack of formal training, and his longer stories lack the narrative focus of his heroes, Carl Barks and Harvey Kurtzman. But his gritty, psychedelic fantasies retain an individuality and a strength too often lacking in contemporary Comic Books and comic strips. The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book is the ideal status symbol-gift for graying hippies who once rejected all status symbols. -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Charles Solomon<br /><br />The bookish, sexually obsessed cartoonist Robert Crumb spills all in the pages of this retrospective volume of his work. From his stoner epiphanies to his blistering self-critiques, Crumb's work is one long reaction to his maladjusted youth (grimly depicted in the 1995 documentary Crumb). --Entertainment Weekly
