About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete run of Robert Crumb's controversial and groundbreaking Fritz the Cat stories, originally published in various underground comix from the 1960s and early 1970s. It includes the full arc of Fritz's adventures, from his college days to his tragic end, showcasing Crumb's satirical and often darkly humorous take on counterculture, politics, and human nature through the lens of an anthropomorphic feline. Published by Fantagraphics in 1993, this volume represents the definitive edition of Crumb's most famous character's complete saga.

In "R. Crumb's Comics and Stories," Robert Crumb delivers a raw, unfiltered look at Fritz the Cat’s restless life after being kicked out by his wife. Wandering the city, Fritz reconnects with old friends Heinz and Fuz, each pulling him into different currents—rumors of a past lover’s return and a radical new movement brewing in the shadows. With Crumb’s signature style and voice, the story unfolds in his unmistakable hand, from the interior art to the cover by Crumb himself.
