Description: The first three volumes of this series were met with the highest acclaim; expect this book to be no different. Combining volumes 7 and 8 from the first boxed set, it spans the years 1982 to 1989 and is filled with his signature perversions (in country settings), scathing social commentary, cruel self-portraits, experimental cubism... and some lovely sylvan landscape.
Brief description:
Robert Crumb (*1943) first found fame with Zap Comix in 1968. Subsequent comics include Snatch, Big Ass, Despair, Weirdo and Hup. He starred in the Oscar-nominated 1994 film Crumb, and has produced many books, including TASCHEN's Sex Obsessions.
Review Quotes: "Like owning a piece of Crumb himself--but let's not think about which piece exactly."-- "Zinc"
