  1. 1. Crumb

    A Cartoonist's Life
    Cover of 'Crumb' by Dan Nadel

    A concise portrait of cartoonist Robert Crumb that follows his life from a troubled childhood in 1950s suburbia to his central role in the 1960s underground-comics scene. The book explores Crumb’s distinctive artwork, cultural influences (popular music and the counterculture), and how his work helped shift comics into a medium for adult expression. It offers a measured, spoiler-free look at a complex artist and the eras he shaped and reflected.
