The R.Crumb Handbook tells the story of how a schmuck became a cultural icon, and is more than just another celebrity tell-all sexploitation. This brand new hardback collection of original cartoons - with never-before-published work - 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. The only underground cartoonist to be accepted by the fine art world, the R.Crumb Handbook is divided into the four enemies of man: FEAR, CLARITY, POWER and OLD AGE. Working with his old drinking buddy Pete Poplaski, the four chapters are easily digested. Crumb's often controversial views towards Disney, 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 1960s, Robert Crumb shows us the pressures and influences that the modern mass media has on the human condition. The book includes over 80 personal photographs and 300 images taken from personal sketchbooks, comic books as well as fine art from museums. In addition to a free CD containing twenty musical cuts, performed by Robert himself, his family and his drinking buddies, this special BOXED edition is strictly LIMITED to just 150 copies worldwide. Each beautifully designed box contains the special CLOTH COVERED edition of the R Crumb Handbook with a stamped and NUMBERED bookplate, a SIGNED and NUMBERED LIMITED edition ETCHING of an R Crumb original drawing and the Certificate of Authentication.
