R. Crumb Draws the Blues #[nn]

"Patton" is a striking, self-referential piece from Robert Crumb’s 1993 collection, where his signature self-portrait appears in multiple forms across the issue’s layout—front cover, interior, and back cover—each rendered in distinct visual styles. Crumb’s distinctive line work and stark contrasts define the piece, with the image appearing in negative on the final page and on a black background on the inside cover.
