Publisher's Synopsis

Back in print after several years' absence and with R. Crumb's popularity higher than ever in the wake of the bestselling R. Crumb's Genesis (Jonathan Cape, 2009), the Complete Crumb Comics series showcases several key years in Crumb's career. Volume 15 explores the years 1983-1985, best represented by Crumb's contributions to the magazine he edited and founded, Weirdo, including the first Mode O'Day strips and such Crumb classics as 'Psychopathia Sexualis' and 'Where Has It Gone, All the Beautiful Music of Our Grandparents?'.

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.
