More Crumb added

by docweasel May 10 2023

8 more crumb centric one-two shot comics added.
While underground comics had brought Robert Crumb significant social popularity and financial wealth by 1969, he also endured quite a bit of criticism for the way his comics portrayed chauvinism and outright hostility towards women. After the hyper-smut content of the Snatch and Jiz digests, Crumb said that he hoped the raw porn in those books had broken all the sexual taboos and would subsequently allow cartoonists to move on to something else.

DC’s G.I.COMBAT
We want to post DC’s “G.I. COMBAT” featuring the Haunted Tank w/ J.E.B. Stuart and Sgt. Rock, but the numbers are pretty daunting. After Karloff is done we plan on putting up the ’60s issues as a start.

note: in response to some requests:
One thing we will never have is Marvel, which is shite from beginning to end of its history.
However a precursor to Marvel, Atlas, has some good stuff we might bring out in time.
We’re posting stuff on a “how much do we personally like it” basis, and trying to do requests that include stuff we have on hand or can reasonably acquire.

R. Crumb Big Ass Comics

by docweasel May 5 2023

Robert Crumb had already produced or contributed to a multitude of comics in 1968 and early ’69, including three issues of Zap Comix and the smut digests Snatch and Jiz, not to mention all the stuff he did for tabloids (like Yarrowstalks and the East Village Other) and magazines like Help! and Cavalier. While underground comics had brought Crumb considerable social and financial status, he also endured quite a bit of criticism for his chauvinism and outright hostility towards women. After the hyper-smut content of the Snatch and Jiz comics, Crumb said that he hoped the raw porn in those books had broken all the sexual taboos and would subsequently allow cartoonists to move on to something else. In the spring of 1969 Crumb produced Motor City Comics #1, which introduced one of his most earnest feminist characters, Lenore Goldberg. The Goldberg character still perpetuated some aspects of Crumb’s sexism, but she was his strongest female figure up to that time.

R. Crumb delivers what he’s famous for, big asses.
