The Complete Crumb Comics #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis eighth volume of Fantagraphics' comprehensive series collects Robert Crumb's work from 1971 to 1972, a period marked by the controversial and definitive end of his most famous character, Fritz the Cat. Alongside the titular story, the book gathers a wide range of Crumb's underground comix output from that era, including strips from titles like Zap Comix, Big Ass Comics, and Uneeda Comix, showcasing his evolving satire and artistic experimentation. The volume also features extensive biographical and historical notes, providing context for this pivotal moment in the artist's career and the underground comix movement.
In "Stinko's New Car," R. Crumb delivers another sharp, offbeat installment of his signature surreal humor, with Flakey Foont grappling with existential musings before spiraling into a mischievous scheme. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Crumb, the story captures his distinctive blend of melancholy and absurdity, all rendered in his unmistakable, raw style. The cover, also by Crumb, perfectly mirrors the tale’s skewed, deadpan tone.
