R. Crumb's Carload O'Comics #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology gathers a selection of R. Crumb's comic strips and stories originally published between 1968 and 1976, showcasing his distinctive underground comix style from that fertile period. The collection includes work from various Crumb projects of the era, reflecting his evolving artistic and thematic concerns. Published jointly by Bélier Press and Kitchen Sink Press in 1996, it serves as a companion volume to earlier Crumb anthologies, offering readers a curated look at his output from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s.
In "The Confessions of R. Crumb," Robert Crumb delivers a raw, self-examining tale that blurs the line between autobiography and satire, centering on Snoid’s escalating misdeeds and the chaotic fallout when his mistreatment of maid Beulah spirals beyond control. With Crumb handling every aspect of the art and lettering, the story unfolds in his signature grotesque yet intimate style, culminating in an unexpected intrusion by the People's Liberation Army, who arrive to seize Snoid’s possessions and recruit Beulah—leaving both characters and readers in uncertain territory. The cover, also by Crumb, captures the story’s darkly ironic tone in stark, hand-drawn detail.
