As this volume opens we find our hero at age 46, solidly into the midlife crises years. Crumb has lived his entire life in anxious, introspective, self-flagellating crises, however, so the middle years bring only a refinement of his lifelong turmoil and further honing of artistic talent. More words accompany the drawings, demonstrating Crumb's brilliant powers of observation, as in a long paragraph devoted to an encounter with one of brother Maxon's vegan tu

«Для коміксу Ліхтенштейн зробив не більше, ніж Воргол для супу», — казав Арт Шпіґельман, автор графічного роману «Маус» і редактор журналу RAW, повертаючись до питання взаємин коміксу та мистецтва. Виставка «Високе й низьке: сучасне мистецтво [і] популярна культура» (Музей сучасного мистецтва Нью-Йорка, 1990), що представляла американські комікси поруч із роботами Хуана Міро, Енді Воргола, Роя Ліхтенштейна, Філіпа Гастона тощо, обурила спільноту незалежних коміксистів. Шпіґельман надрукував комікс проти виставки в журналі Artforum, а п’ятнадцять років потому за його консультації було створено виставку «Майстри американського коміксу» (Музей сучасного мистецтва Лос-Анджелеса, 2005) — без творів сучасних художників узагалі.

Чи можлива історія сучасного мистецтва без коміксу? Що розділяє поп-арт і андеграунд комікс? Яким бачать власний канон американські коміксисти? Відповіді на ці питання пропонують куратори, арт-критики, комікс-критики й автори коміксів — у четвертій книзі серії Small Run Books.

All of Robert Crumb's work from his very influential Weirdo magazine.

Widely considered to be some of his best work ever. Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb in 1981, which ran for 28 issues.

It served as a "low art” counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb's interests at the time: outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted "weirdness.”

The incredibly varied stories include TV Blues, Life of Boswell, People Make me Nervous, The Old Songs are the Best Songs,Uncle Bob's Mid-Life Crisis, Kraft Ebbing's' Psycopathia Sexualis, Goldilocks, The Life of Philip K Dick, and many more.

Also within are several photo strip stories featuring Crumb himself and various of his trademark well-built women including his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb in tales such as Get in Shape and Unfaithful Husband.

Потрясающее иллюстрированное издание самой известной части Ветхого Завета - Книги Бытия. Все 50 глав Книги Бытия со Дня Творения до смерти Иосифа практически построчно проиллюстрированы Робертом Крамбом.

Первоначально задумав описать изгнание Адама и Евы из Рая, Крамб проникся языком Библии, осознав, что “текст настолько великолепен и настолько необычен, что сам просится на страницы графики,” что решил что вместо того, чтобы заняться очередной интерпретацией, он станет слово за словом иллюстрировать Библию.

В основу были положены английские переводы Библии Роберта Альтера и короля Джеймса. Перевод русского издания - официальный синодальный перевод.

The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb

Featuring over 100 pages of vintage Crumb comics starring the white-bearded, diminutive sage-cum-charlatan, ranging from charming, freewheeling early 70s stories to the disturbing, controversial 90s stories - including the entire 40-page 'Mr Natural and Devil Girl' epic. Crumb's Mister Natural is probably the most famous underground character of all, meaning readers will not want to miss the chance to snatch up this jam-packed collection of comics from one of the all-time masters.

Nominated for three 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: From Creation to the death of Joseph, here are all 50 chapters of the Book of Genesis, revealingly illustrated as never before.
Envisioning the first book of the bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Originally thinking that we would do a take off of Adam and Eve, Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible’s language, “a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions,” that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James bible.

Now, readers of every persuasion—Crumb fans, comic book lovers, and believers—can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, tragic, and even juicy stories. Crumb’s Book of Genesis reintroduces us to the bountiful tree lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire that rained from the heavens, and the Egypt of the Pharaoh, where Joseph’s embalmed body is carried in a coffin, in a scene as elegiac as any in Genesis. Using clues from the text and peeling away the theological and scholarly interpretation that have often obscured the Bible’s most dramatic stories, Crumb fleshes out a parade of Biblical originals: from the serpent in Eden, the humanoid reptile appearing like an alien out of a science fiction movie, to Jacob, a “kind’ve depressed guy who doesn’t strike you as physically courageous,” and his bother, Esau, “a rough and kick ass guy,” to Abraham’s wife Sarah, more fetching than most woman at 90, to God himself, “a standard Charlton Heston-like figure with long white hair and a flowing beard.”

As Crumb writes in his introduction, “the stories of these people, the Hebrews, were something more than just stories. They were the foundation, the source, in writing of religious and political power, handed down by God himself.” Crumb’s Book of Genesis, the culmination of 5 years of painstaking work, is a tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling which celebrates the astonishing diversity of the one of our greatest artistic geniuses.

Nominated for three 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: Best Adaptation from Another Work, Best Graphic Album, Best Writer/Artist.

"What do I have in common with the Jews? I don't even have anything in common with myself." Nothing could better express the essence of Franz Kafka, a man described by his friends as living behind a "glass wall." Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy tainted with hilarity and self-abasement. What he added to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness. Alienated from his roots, his family, his surroundings, and primarily from his own body, Kafka created a unique literary language in which to hide away, transforming himself into a cockroach, an ape, a dog, a mole or a circus artiste who starves himself to death in front of admiring crowds. David Zane Mairowitz's brilliant text and the illustrations and comic panels of the world's greatest cartoonist, Robert Crumb (himself no stranger to self-loathing and alienation), help us to understand the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche "Kafkaesque," peering through Kafka's glass wall like no other book before it. The book is a wonderful educational tool for those unfamiliar with Kafka, including a brief but inclusive biography as well as the plots of many of his works, all illustrated by Crumb, making this newly designed edition a must-have for admirers of both Kafka and Crumb.
