""Crumb is fabulous, an engrossing biography, both intimate about the man but insightful about the times. Dan Nadel has written a revealing ‘portrait of the artist as a young man’—but also about the mature curmudgeon we all know as ‘R. Crumb,’ the signature Sixties artist of underground comics. Hilarious at times, poignant and always empathetic, Crumb is a marvelous trip crafted by a brilliant biographer."" —Kai Bird, co-author of Pulitzer Prize-winning American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer “There’s no better guide through the rough, raw underworld of R. Crumb than Dan Nadel. A definitive account that reads like an intimate memoir, Crumb’s scenic history of counterculture cartooning in America contains the same propulsive energy and vivid details as its subject.” —Prudence Peiffer, author of The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever “The intimacy of Robert Crumb’s work has fascinated me for more than half my life. Every artist should read this book!” —KAWS ""This is a great biography that explores the complexity of one of the world’s greatest cartoonists ever."" —Art Spiegelman, author of Maus
