For the true R. CRUMB fan, after/in the style of famed comic art pop culture phenomenon R. CRUMB, an original drawing and associated writings, marker on standard yellow legal paper, two sheets, each 11" by 8 1/2". The figure in the imagery is a self portrait. THIS IS NOT BY THE ARTIST HIMSELF; the imagery was skillfully copied, apparently in the late 1970's from a splash panel of 1972's "The Confessions of R. Crumb", from THE PEOPLE'S COMICS, page 43. The sheets don't look all that yellow in the photos, due to the light in which photographed. Frame and mat these vintage sheets to create a most unusual conversation piece. Crumb, born 1943, was and remains a major figure in the underground comix and alternative comics culture. A prolific and talented illustrator, his work takes from illustration styles of the early 20th century. Sexual themes add to the considerable spiciness of his work, and heavy LSD use earlier in his life is said to have inspired much of the art. In 2017 the original cover art for the Fritz the Cat collection brought a record $717,000 at Heritage Auction. See the lengthy, complex online biographies of this hard to classify, yet astoundingly popular, artist.
