Last Gasp

Crumb has got to be one of the most confessional artists of all time, and certainly the most confessional artist ever in his chosen genre. In both interviews and art, he not only relates the external facts of his life but also turns his id inside-out. The three passions of his life, he's said, are sex, music, and his art, and all three of them get intertwined in both his personal life and his work. My Troubles with Women is a collection that especially speaks to the first passion.

My Troubles with Women

The Complete Dirty Laundry Comics collects the two issues of Dirty Laundry Comics as well as other comics that were collaborations between Robert Crumb and his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb. Against the backdrop of the wild 1970s, the Crumbs appear as themselves in autobiographical vignettes. They wander through various situations ranging from the banal (Aline complaining that she doesn't draw as well as Robert) to the extreme (Robert shoving Aline's face into a pool of vomit). While both of these artists share an almost unrelenting frankness, they each have unique personalities and art styles.

Literature & Fiction

An accomplished musician on banjo, guitar and ukelele and an avid collector of early jazz and blues records, Robert Crumb constantly writes and draws about music of all kinds. Brought together for the first time from all stages of his career these strips range from the silly to the serious. Real people and real problems are the substance of stories like Jelly Roll Morton's Voodoo Curse and Patton while Crumb's celebrated light-hearted zaniness can be seen in Cubist Be-Bop Comics, The Old Songs are The Best Songs and Sunny side up. Crumb is as obssessed with music as he is with sex, and his extraordinary talent shines throughout this collection.

R. Crumb Draws the Blues

All of Robert Crumb's work from his very influential Weirdo magazine. Widely considered to be some of his best work ever. Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb in 1981, which ran for 28 issues. It served as a "low art” counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb's interests at the time: outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted "weirdness.” The incredibly varied stories include TV Blues, Life of Boswell, People Make me Nervous, The Old Songs are the Best Songs,Uncle Bob's Mid-Life Crisis, Kraft Ebbing's' Psycopathia Sexualis, Goldilocks, The Life of Philip K Dick, and many more. Also within are several photo strip stories featuring Crumb himself and various of his trademark well-built women including his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb in tales such as Get in Shape and Unfaithful Husband.
