R. Crumb Sketchbook #3

This third volume in Fantagraphics' series of R. Crumb sketchbooks covers the year 1966, a pivotal period when the artist was refining his distinctive line and developing the raw, confessional style that would define his underground comix work. The collection reproduces pages from Crumb's personal sketchbooks, offering an unfiltered look at his daily drawings, character studies, and early iterations of figures like Mr. Natural and Fritz the Cat, all rendered with the obsessive detail and satirical edge that marked his emerging voice.
