Synopsis

Rumoured for years, Drawn Together finally charts the daily exploits and erotic craziness of this """"First Couple"""" of comics. Who could have imagined that in 1972 when Aline Kominsky, a Long Island escapee and bodaciously talented artist, broke her foot one rainy fall day, it would result in the most unique collaboration in comics' history? Laid up in her house, she was persuaded by her nerdy, neurotic boyfriend that they pass the time drawing together a """"two-man"""" comic. The result is a jaw-dropping, yet tender account. This is a true a must-have for any comics devotee.

About this title

Review

But together they have an artfulness - the intriguing focus of an autobiographical tale that covers moments of life but takes years to create. On the page, in bed, and in life, they clearly work incredibly well together. ----The Book Bag

This is a lifetime s work, a relationship laid bare for inspection, and a wonderful insight into the lives of the Crumbs. It s a warts-and-all expose so sometimes doesn't gel, and occasionally isn t pleasant. But it s brutally honest and deeply engrossing. ----Grovel
