First Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. 250pp. "Crumb's Whole Career, from Shack to Chateau!" [] "In the late sixties, a number of cartoonists re-created the comic book as a vehicle for artistic expression. Never again would comics be produced exclusively to entertain children--that mold was broken. At the forefront of this movement was R. Crumb, a young man steeped in the history of comics and boiling with LSD-inspired visions. His work then and since has established him as one of the masters of the art form. [] THE R. CRUMB COFFEE TABLE ART BOOK collects the finest work from throughout Crumb's career, ranging from some of his earliest published comics in the mid-sixties to work completed in the nineties. His best stories, illustrations, covers, and paintings are here, many of them appearing in color for the first time. There is a rich representation of Crumb's early work, including drawings for Harvey Kurtzman's Help! in the sixties and examples of his youthful work as a greeting card artist. Selections from Crumb's sketchbooks over the years reveal the evolution of his style and the development of ideas over time. Brief commentaries by Crumb are interspersed throughout the book, illuminating his early love of comics, his career, his obsessions with sex and old music, and many other aspects of his life and work. [] This volume collects for the first time the full range of Crumb's subjects, including such legendary pages as 'Keep On Truckin' and 'Stoned Agin!' and familiar figures like Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, Devil Girl, and the artist's favorite subject, R. Crumb. Lavishly designed and printed, THE R. CRUMB COFFEE TABLE ART BOOK is a feast from one of the great original American artists of our times." [jacket copy] "Since Crumb is still widely considered an 'underground' comix artist and best known for his hippie-era work, this lavish mounting of his art may seem inappropriate or ironic. But few other figures in the comics field really merit such treatment, nor would their work profit as much from this volume's oversize pages and high-quality reproduction. The collection samples the full range of Crumb's diverse production, from juvenilia and psychedelia to lovingly rendered sketchbook pages and recent autobiographical, confessional stories. Almost as rewarding are Crumb's hand-lettered commentaries, scattered throughout, that reveal the idiosyncrasies and obsessions behind the comics, which viewers of the acclaimed documentary film 'Crumb' (1994) will recognize. Although, unfortunately, it covers up Crumb's distinctive crosshatched line work, the addition of color to much of the originally black-and-white art may enhance its appeal for some, and although [94] bucks may seem steep for a 'comic book,' this is a thoroughly worthwhile purchase for libraries that don't want to commit to Fantagraphics' ongoing complete Crumb project."--Gordon Flagg, Booklist. Pristine hardcover in dark-red boards w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket, quite presentable & collectible. "Yeah, but is it art?"--R. Crumb. Oversize (11.4" x 13.4") hefty folio will likely require additional postage & insurance to get to you safely; please inquire with your specific interest & destination.…
