This is just a small sampling of Robert Crumb’s body of work.  It was Terry Zwigoff’s 1995 documentary, Crumb, that first opened my eyes to the famous “underground” comics artist.  I was instantly drawn to his ultra-detailed, scratchy cartoon style and the fearless honesty of his work, albeit sometimes brutal & ugly in nature.  Instead of boring you with a long wall of text, listing the highlights of Crumb’s illustrious career, I’ll say just go watch the documentary, if you haven’t already. It’s a great piece of filmmaking and a fascinating exploration of the human condition.
Zap #16, the final issue of Zap Comix hits stands this week.  Crumb provides another cover and some comics, including another installment of “Aline & Bob” with his cartoonist wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb.  This edition was originally included in The Complete Zap Comix Boxed Set, which is still available at a measly, discounted price of $423.70 on Amazon.  I know that may sound like a lot, but if you were to track down and buy all of the original comics in that collection(which would be quite a feat!), I’m sure you’d be spending way more than that!

The Big Joe Turner drawing is by William Stout, not Crumb. Stout did a series modelled on Crumb’s Heroes of the Blues cardsand people often get them mixed up.
