Verhalen over paranoia #[nn]

Robert Crumb's instantly recognizable linework dominates this 2025 Dutch-language collection from Concerto Books, with a wide-eyed, bespectacled man in a rumpled hat staring uneasily at a looming cell tower surrounded by twilight trees — the cover tagline asks, "Van de pot gerukt of een heldere visie — wie zal het zeggen?" ("Nuts or a clear vision — who can say?"). Four character portraits line the left edge — Pete Cornell, Deep State Woman, De Dokter, and De Bende — hinting at the paranoid cast of personalities explored inside "Wat is paranoia?". Crumb's famously scratchy, densely cross-hatched style gives the whole image a jittery, conspiratorial energy that feels entirely at home with the subject matter.
