Synopsis This exhaustive and exhausting (from the side-splitting laughter it induces) series from Fantagraphics attempts to gather together all of American comics master Robert Crumb's works. Although the prolific artist was still kicking out delightfully cantankerous comics when this series was initiated, the 17 volumes published through 2005 do an excellent job of archiving his creative development and of documenting his lasting imprint on the medium. Crumb's work has always pushed the limits of taste and challenged notions of propriety. This series is a must-have for aficionados and anyone up for a few off-color jokes, insightfully sharp cultural commentary, and charmingly virtuosic visual storytelling.
