Fantagraphics September 1995
Crumb classics from Dirty Laundry and Arcade , full-cover covers for books, comics and LPs, and Crumb’s complete serial from the pages of the Village Voice . This volume contains Crumb classics Dirty Laundry #2 (the ground-breaking Crumb/Kominsky jam), the last of the Arcade strips, full-cover covers for books, comics and LPs, and Crumb’s complete 40-page epic Mr. Natural serial from the pages of the Village Voice . In it, our hero, having given up on the “wise man” business, has sent away all his students and lives a quiet life. But during a particularly arduous meditation, he wrestles with the Devil, and at last achieves total enlightenment.
He’s locked up in a nut house right away, of course. Thus endeth the Age of Aquarius.
Other classic stories include “I Once Lived the Life of a Millionaire” (the Snoid vs. The Revolution) and “Josephine and the Cross-Eyed Quadroon” (which covers just about all the bases, political incorrectness-wise). Re-live the 20th Century with Crumb!
