The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat

Robert Crumb returns to his most infamous creation for a single-issue coda published by Fantagraphics in 2026. This grim, late-career reflection revisits the world of Fritz the Cat, offering a definitive end to a character whose chaotic life mirrored the counterculture's rise and fall. Crumb, the sole writer and artist, brings his unmistakable linework and sardonic voice to a story decades in the making, closing the book on a controversial figure in underground comix history.
