The Book of Mr. Natural

A single-issue revival from Fantagraphics, The Book of Mr. Natural (2022–present) collects the earliest, most unhinged adventures of R. Crumb's iconic bearded sage and his long-suffering disciple, Flakey Foont. This series reprints Crumb's foundational 1960s underground comix work, presenting the raw, satirical origin of the character who would become a counterculture touchstone. It matters as a pristine archival edition of a landmark figure in American comics history, preserving the artist's raw, boundary-pushing humor for a new generation.
