The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book, Crumb's Whole Career, from Shack to Chateau
[Kitchen Sink Press 1997]

The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book collects for the first time Crumb's finest drawings, stories, illustrations, covers, and paintings - ranging from his early work as a greeting card artist to such iconic sixties images as "Keep On Truckin'" and "Stoned Agin!" to drawings and comic strips featuring Crumb's signature creations, including Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, and Devil Girl. Brief commentaries by Crumb illuminate his obsessions with sex and old music, his disappointment with the hippie era, and other aspects of his life and career. With its never-before-seen drawings and sketchbook work, and featuring many cartoons coloured by the artist for the first time, The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book is a rich visual feast of a book - a celebration of one of the great original American artists of our time.
