Book Reviews of Crumb Family Comic
Book Review: A great collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this collection because I wanted to see more of Charles Crumb's artwork up close. The book included a lot of this, plus Charles's insane "Talent Test" which was shown in the movie "Crumb." Also included are some essays by Charles about his troubles as a high school student and his constant struggle with his sexual orientation and his desire for boys. There was also a lot of excellent art by Maxon Crumb, and a few good R. Crumb comics (My Trouble With Women, Part II, for example.) Towards the beginning there is a lot of biographical information about the Crumb family written by Maxon, which is very interesting to read and provides a lot of background on all of the Crumb brothers. At the end of the book is a comic about life in France written and illustrated by R. Crumb and his wife Aline. There are also a few really interesting essays hand-written by Robert Crumb about intellectual topics.
This book is a great book because it's about more than just the art of the Crumb brothers. A great deal of it is taken up by writing from all three of the Crumbs that really brings the reader closer to their world, and therefore their art.
