This book is based upon a suggestion by Terry Zwigoff, the producer-director of the academy award winning documentary film, "Crumb," to aid in understanding this unique and complex artistic family. The first section comprises a biography of the Crumb family. Later sections deal with selections from the works of Robert, Charles, Maxon, Jesse and Sophie Crumb. The major part of the book is the work of Robert Crumb, including his sketches, comics, fictions, portraits, paintings and drawings. The front and back endpapers are photographic reproductions from an unpublished journal by Charles Crumb that is held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
