THE R. CRUMB HANDBOOK HC W/CD
by Robert Crumb & Pete Poplaski
The R.Crumb Handbook tells the story of how a loser-schmuck became a cultural icon, and is more than just another celebrity tell-all sexploitation. This hardback collection of original, never-before-published works, takes the reader on a unique journey through the life and times of one of the 20th century's most notorious and influential counter-culture artists. Working with his old drinking buddy and co-author Pete Poplasky, the four chapters (named after the four enemies of man: Fear, Clarity, Power, and Old Age) are easily digested. With over 400 pages of cartoons and photographs, Crumb's often controversially-regarded views toward Disneyland, growing up in America, hippie love, art galleries, and turning 60 are revealed. By tracing his development as a cartoonist from his tormented childhood in the 1940s through to his coming-of-age as an artist in the psychedelic revolution of the '60s, Robert Crumb exposes the pressures and influences that the modern mass media has on human consciousness, and includes over 80 personal photographs, and 300 images taken from his sketchbooks and comics, as well as fine art from museums. Inclues a free bonus CD of Robert's music! (6755/1-84072-716-0)
