“A Short History of America”
In "A Short History of America," Robert Crumb delivers a sharp, satirical take on American mythmaking through the lens of a self-described misfit enrolling in the absurdly named "National School of Hard Knocks." Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Crumb, this 2005 issue blends biting wit with his signature raw line work, turning a simple enrollment into a surreal journey through the country's contradictions.
