On The Horizon: Two R. Crumb Books
Coming on tax day, 2025, a biography of R. Crumb, and a collection of his work. Crumb: A Cartoonist’s Life is by Dan Nagel; R.Crumb: Existential Comics, 1979-2004 is edited by Mr. Nagel. Both are published by David Zwirner Books.
From the publisher re: Existential Comics: “This volume brings together twenty-five of R. Crumb’s most ambitious, acclaimed, and profound comics, all produced at the height of the underground comix movement and which are out of print.”
From the publisher re: A Cartoonist’s Life: “The first biography of Robert Crumb—one of the most profound and influential artists of the 20th century—whose iconic, radically frank and meticulously rendered cartoons and comics inspired generations of readers and cartoonists, from Art Spiegelman to Alison Bechdel.”
R. Crumb began contributing to The New Yorker in 1994. Visit his website here.
