About This Book

"All of Robert Crumb''s work from his very influential Weirdo magazine.Widely considered to be some of his best work ever. Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb in 1981, which ran for 28 issues.It served as a ""low art” counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb''s interests at the time: outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted ""weirdness.” The incredibly varied stories include TV Blues, Life of Boswell, People Make me Nervous, The Old Songs are the Best Songs,Uncle Bob''s Mid-Life Crisis, Kraft Ebbing''s'' Psycopathia Sexualis, Goldilocks, The Life of Philip K Dick, and many more.Also within are several photo strip stories featuring Crumb himself and various of his trademark well-built women including his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb in tales such as Get in Shape and Unfaithful Husband."
