Synopsis
- There have been other attempts at R. Crumb checklists and bibliographies published over the years, the best of which was Don Fiene’s R. Crumb Checklist, originally published in 1981 by Boatner Norton Press; it represented a landmark volume in Crumb scholarship. After several years of research and 30 years since that invaluable reference work, Richter’s The Crumb Compendium lists and organizes all of Crumb’s published work to date: comics, papers, and other periodicals, books, catalogs, posters, juvenilia, cards, and all other printed ephemera. Records and CDs, as well as merchandise like buttons, statues, and shirts are also included, as well as listings of articles and interviews, characters and comic strip titles and published photographs. Most of the material is from the author’s own collection; other items were examined in private collections and university archives. In a few cases Photostats or scans from other collections and institutions were acquired.
