ROBERT CRUMB SKETCHBOOK HC #6
1998 - 2011
(A) Robert Crumb (CA) Robert Crumb
"Silly Fool Comics" fills the final page in this final volume, with a devilish creature telling the anguished Crumb, "YOU Will Soon Be DEAD!" He was a mere 67, but in his self-absorbed Crumbish way was obsessing about death, when not making intimate and loving portraits of his mistress Carol Vinson, his wife Aline, and all the other women who'd tormented his libido since boyhood. Most impressive in this book are his historic tableau, some single page, others multi-page strips, including Piers the Ploughman of 14th century England, My Secret Life by "Walter," Rough Women of the Dark Ages and The Apache Dance, from a 1930s Parisian postcard.
TASCHEN 75 YEARS OF DC COMICS HC NEW PTG
The single most comprehensive book on DC Comics with more than 2,000 images - including covers, illustrations, film stills, and collectibles - and in-depth essays by DC veteran Paul Levitz returns in a new edition that brings you all the same DC glory of TASCHEN's Eisner Award-winning original XL volume in a more compact format. What was initially considered to be disposable media for children was well on its way to becoming the mythology of our time-the 20th century's answer to Atlas or Zorro. More than 40,000 comic books later, TASCHEN has produced the single most comprehensive book on DC Comics. Telling the tales behind the tomes is 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, whose in-depth essays trace the company's history, from its pulp origins through to the future of digital publishing, alongside year-by-year timelines and biographies of DC legends.
