R. Crumb Sketchbook #1

This volume collects the earliest surviving sketchbooks from R. Crumb, spanning 1964 to 1965, a formative period before his underground comix fame. It reproduces the raw, unfiltered pages of a young artist experimenting with the cartooning styles and satirical observations that would later define his career. Published by Fantagraphics, this edition offers a direct glimpse into Crumb's creative development during his late teens and early twenties.
