Les Aventures de R. Crumb

Robert Crumb's Les Aventures de R. Crumb, published by Cornélius from 2009 to the present, collects the legendary underground cartoonist's autobiographical strips and travelogues in a single, ongoing issue. Known for his dense, crosshatched linework and unflinching self-examination, Crumb documents his later-life peregrinations and domestic life with the same raw, idiosyncratic honesty that defined his earlier work. This series matters as a compact, intimate window into the mature phase of one of comics' most influential and controversial figures.
