R. Crumb Sketchbook from Early 1971 to Mid 1972

A look inside the creative process with Robert Crumb. R. Crumb is undoubtedly the foremost cartoonist of the latter 20th Century, and his sketchbooks - in which he has written and drawn continually from the early '60s to present - might rank as his finest achievement. Fantagraphics is proud to present these sketchbooks, in facsimile form, as a comprehensive series of volumes that will eventually run well over 4000 pages. Volume 8, covering 1971 through 1972, is the latest and it represents one of the more inquisitive and soul-searching periods in this phenomenal artist's life, as it coincides with Crumb's rise to fame and rejection of the late '60s hippie counterculture that made him famous
