The Complete Crumb Comics 14
Book (italiano):
This volume features the beginning of a seminal period of both Crumb's life and comics history with the first eight issues of Weirdo magazine, edited and anchored by Crumb, including the legendary strips, “Uncle Bob's Mid-Life Crisis” and “I Remember the Sixties.” Also included are collaborations with Harvey Pekar from the pages of <em>American Splendor,</em> rare music-related art, Crumb's final contributions to <em>Winds of Change</em> magazine, and much more. Including the entirety of Crumb's published oeuvre, as well as unpublished comics and illustrations, <em>The Complete Crumb Comics</em> series (along with its companion series, <em>The R. Crumb Sketchbooks</em>) is an invaluable addition to any comics library.<br /><br /><em>The whole idea for Weirdo magazine came to me in a flash in the fall of 1980. I was performing my daily meditation exercise one day when the vision of this kooky, screwball magazine erupted in all its tacky, low-life, dumbass essence, a style-mix of the old 1940s and '50s girlie-and-cartoon "joke books," Harvey Kurtzman's early Mad and Humbug and their sleazy imitators, and the self-published "punk" zines of the period. I got very excited. I became obsessed.</em> – From the introduction by R. Crumb
