books by Robert Crumb     books:       Book of Mr. Natural6 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1995 Mr. Natural Is a Hoot! Man, this takes me back to the Sixties. It is great to have something that makes me laugh out loud every time I open and read it. Being a Crumb creation, this book is not "PC"--and thank goodness! Instead, it is a cartoon fantasy that portrays human beings in all their amusing and maddening reality. A spiritual icon (Mr. Natural) who likes to raid his devotee's refrigerator, get it on with ...             My Troubles With Women9 reviews Robert Crumb Last Gasp, 2000 One of Crumb's three passions Crumb has got to be one of the most confessional artists of all time, and certainly the most confessional artist ever in his chosen genre. In both interviews and art, he not only relates the external facts of his life but also turns his id inside-out. The three passions of his life, he's said, are sex, music, and his art, and all three of them get intertwined in both his personal life and his ...             The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 174 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 2005 "You're looking particularly lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver..." If, God help me, I ever get disgusted enough with the 21st century to start looking back to the 50s and early 60s of my childhood with fond nostalgia, I hope that someone will whack me with an R. Crumb book. If there's anybody who can pop nostalgia bubbles for that horrible period, it's Crumb. His satire is unexcelled at reminding us of the empty-souled, plastic, picket-fenced hypocrisy of the ...             Bob and Harv's Comics7 reviews Harvey Pekar Running Press, 1996 Great collection This is a terrific collection of Harvey Pekar and Bob Crumb's collaborations throughout the years. In my opinion, Crumb did some of his best work with Pekar. The only note of caution, most of these comics are in the other Harvey Pekar AMERICAN SPLENDOR collections. So, there really isn't anything new here, other than the introductions and a few covers.             The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 8: The Death of Fritz the Cat5 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1992 The Complete Crumb continues... The review above says this is not Crumb's best stuff, and not to buy anything from "This Publisher." This makes NO SENSE, because Fantagraphics is publishing THE COMPLETE WORKS of ROBERT CRUMB, in order, from his early years right up to the present. Crumb supervises each release and writes the introductions to each volume. Furthermore, Fantagraphics is one of the best publishers of quality comix ...             The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 3: Starring Fritz the Cat Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1996             The Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 1: The Early Years of Bitter Struggle2 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1996 The child is father to the man This first volume of the collected works of Robert Crumb focuses on the comix he drew between 1958 and 1962. Still a teenager during this time (he was born in 1943), Crumb entered the comix world by collaborating with his older brother Charles. The two knocked out a monthly called "Foo" which they tried to hawk at their high school--there were no takers--and then desperately peddled from ...             R. Crumb Draws the Blues2 reviews Robert Crumb Last Gasp, 1993 Must be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that... R. Crumb is not only a graphic genius. He's also an afficionado of "old music"--blues, jazz, and blue grass--and has been collecting '78s since he was a teenager. His love for the music of the 1920s and '30s is paralleled by his disdain--and sometimes active hatred--of things contemporary: fastfood culture, faddish art, loud electric music, the American ethos (which he forsook for the life of ...             Complete Crumb Vol. 6 (Complete Crumb Comics)2 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1997 The best of the best! This volume is the best one! With all the strips I remember from my youth. Robert is a pure Genius and this is what I grew up to. Wow no wonder I like thick Women with strong legs! To think my best friend died and I have no idea what he did with these comic books. I hope someone took care of them and is reading them now! the books are just as good as the old comic books...hey even better ...             Kafka3 reviews David Zane Mairowitz, Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 2007 Crumb meets Kafka...meets Crumb Kafka was a complex man whose genius is inseparable from his huge neuroses. So is Robert Crumb. Put the two together, as this book does, and the upshot is a book in which the distinction between author Crumb and subject Kafka tends to dissolve. The book is just as much about the one as the other. It's no mistake that Crumb is drawn (sorry for the bad pun) to Kafka. At one level, the book ...             Zap Comics #8 (Comix: Volume #8) Robert Crumb, Shelton, ... Last Gasp, 1975 Underground comic book!             There's No Business2 reviews Charles Bukowski Ecco, 2002 This is worth buying because of the people involved. There's No Business is about a stand-up comedian whose losing his touch. In typical Bukowski fashion the main character is someone you feel sympathy for even though they have no one to blame but themselves for their misfortune. This is worth buying because Bukowski and Crumb are masters of what they do and anything they team up on is instantly a classic.             Complete Crumb Vol. 10 (Complete Crumb)2 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1998 Crumb at his best The classic comic style and the hilarious stories that he creates is on point. I love his work and he didsn't sell this one short             Graphic Classics Volume 9: Robert Louis Stevenson (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))2 reviews Robert Louis Stevenson, Mort Castle, ... Eureka Productions, 2004 All the old romance, retold "Treasure Island" is probably the first thing that springs to mind from hearing the name Robert Louis Stevenson. "Kidnapped," "Black Arrow" and other classic tales of high adventure sprung from his pen, leading more than one child to desperately wish for a one-eyed Pirate to stroll into his life. But like his other famous creation, Dr. Jekyll, Stevenson had his darker face, and some tales not ...             The Life & Death of Fritz the Cat Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1993 Fritz the Cat romped his way right into icon status by indulging in the drugs and free love of the 1960s. It was through Fritz that legendary cartoonist R. Crumb delivered most of his satirical commentary on that tumultuous decade. The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat chronicles Fritz's adventures from his early days as an idealistic college student to the bitter end, where the burned-out boozing and womanizing Fritz sees his stardom fizzle. ...             The Complete Crumb Comics, Volume 16 Robert Crumb, R. Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 2002 The multiple award-winning The Complete Crumb Comics series—the definitive, comprehensive series reprinting the entirety of Crumb's oeuvre—enters the mid-1980s with this 16th volume, a period that many critics consider to be the richest of Crumb's career. Anchored by Crumb's contributions to the seminal anthology Weirdo , created and edited by Crumb, this volume focuses on the years 1985-1987 and includes the seminal "Jelly Roll ...             Trips9 reviews Cheryl Pellerin Seven Stories Press, 2003 Hoffmann Wasn't Wrong... A often overlooked point of view that the war on drugs culture tends to ignore or neglect is the fact that "even the best theories are history if enough people produce the right number of contradictory findings". So, in my opinion this book does a great service in informing those whose opinions are not biased towards total allegiance to the status quo. I have to laugh when i see headlines in ...             Complete Crumb: Mr Sixties (Complete Crumb Comics Vol 4) (Complete Crumb Comics)4 reviews Robert Crumb Fantagraphics Books, 1989 Not his best stuff?? What are you talking about??? The review above says this is not Crumb's best stuff, and not to buy anything from "This Publisher."

Just as an example, when I use the breath labeling meditation technique at night in my bed, I am able to sleep (better and faster). So if you have a problem with sleeping, this book will help. I had the best results with sleeping using the meditations in this book. But the benefits don't stop there. ...             Gotta Have 'Em: Portraits of Women3 reviews R. Crumb, Ron Warren, ... Greybull Press, 2003 Gotta get this one if you love Crumb's artwork and love or are a big-legged woman! Thank you, R. Crumb. It's a great feeling to know that if you knew me you would want to draw me and make me immortal in your wonderful art work! I must mention before I forget -- I think it was here on Amazon.com that I read a review that said some of the art work in this book was pornographic. I have looked at every single page (and it is a fairly thick book -- much thicker than I expected) ...              search for books bitter, business, classics, comics, complete, death, emotional, fitness, fritz, gotta, graphic, health, louis, mental, metaphysical, natural, novels, portraits, program, robert, sixties, spiritual, starring, stevenson, struggle, there, trips, troubles, volume, women books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
