Fritz the No-Good

A one-shot comic from 1972 published by Ballantine Books, Fritz the No-Good is a standalone showcase of Robert Crumb’s signature underground style. Written and drawn entirely by Crumb, it captures the misadventures of his iconic feline antihero at the peak of the counterculture era. Though brief, this issue stands as a key artifact of Crumb’s early, unvarnished work—raw, satirical, and unapologetically anarchic.
