R. CRUMB: EXISTENTIAL COMICS : SELECTED STORIES, 1979–2004
Εκδότης DAVID ZWIRNER , ISBN 9781644231531
This volume brings together twenty-five of R. Crumb's most ambitious, acclaimed, and profound comics. One of the most influential and iconic cartoonists of our time, R.
Crumb is celebrated for pushing the boundaries of representation, mass consumerism, and polite society. The comics in this volume exemplify Crumb's creative output over twenty-five years following his early experimentation in the 1960s and 1970s. The comics collected here depict characters searching for an understanding of the world around and within themselves.
Through adaptation, autobiography, biography, and short fiction, Crumb-much like his subjects-demands we pay attention to our darkest desires, compulsions, fears, and obsessions. Existential Comics will also feature a new, introductory comic strip by Crumb, reflecting on his practice in the context of this volume. Editor Dan Nadel's essay further weaves together Crumb's life, career, and influences, delving into the creative environment that informed some of the artist's most outstanding comics.
