The Complete Crumb Comics #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of Fantagraphics' comprehensive series collects Robert Crumb's work from the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the complete "Mode O'Day" story and other comics, sketches, and illustrations from that period. It features Crumb's signature satirical and autobiographical style, with a focus on his evolving artistic techniques and cultural commentary.
In "Arline 'n' Bob and That Thing In the Bedroom"—a hypothetical tale from R. Crumb's own pen and ink—Crumb channels a surreal, satirical edge as a Jesus People, U.S.A. interviewer confronts him with blunt religious fervor, questioning his beliefs and warning of eternal damnation. With Crumb both writer and artist, the story unfolds in his signature raw, unfiltered style, blending dark humor and moral ambiguity in a conversation that lingers long after the final panel.
