Publisher's Synopsis

R. Crumb is undoubtedly the foremost cartoonist of the latter twentieth century, and his sketchbooks might rank as his finest achievement. Volume 10 is the latest to be published. It covers from mid-1975 through early 1977 and represents one of the more inquisitive and soul-searching period in this phenomenal artist's life. Unrecognisable as straight biography, these books chronicle Crumb's perceptions more than his life itself. The cumulutaive effect of these sketchbooks is to narrow the gap between the artist and his art.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
