The Complete Crumb Comics: Vol 17 After 17 volumes and many Eisner and Harvey comics awards, the Complete Crumb series from Fantagraphics comes to a sad close. This 17th and last volume collects a creatively productive period for Crumb, having given up the editorial reins of his own legendary Weirdo magazine, Crumb allowed himself to get back to the proverbial drawing board. After many Eisner and Harvey comics awards, the Complete Crumb series comes to a close! Well, at least in its current format — the entirety of Crumb's career will continue to be gathered in single-volume collections like Hup and Mystic Funnies, etc.
Included are Crumb's contributions to Weirdo from this period, as well as work from Whole Earth Review, Zap Comix, Premiere magazine, as well as many other rare gems. This volume, as with all other volumes in the series, includes a new introduction by Crumb as well as a new cover. The Complete Crumb series leaves no stone unturned, publishing everything from Crumb's most well-known comics to little-seen commercial art and rarely-if-ever seen treasures from private collections and the artist's archives. |
