Crumb by Dan Nadel (signed)

Signed first printings of the acclaimed new biography are available for a limited time. Autographed by Dan Nadel.

“Crumb” is an artist biography that astutely connects the work to the life story without forcing or simplifying anything. It works as cultural history and criticism; you won’t find a sharper analysis of the underground comix movement. Nadel honors the complexity of his subject, even, perhaps particularly, when it gets ugly.”
—LA Times

“Nadel digs deep into the Zap Comics creator’s history, offering new revelations about his family, milieu and paramours, as well as trenchant analysis of his art and what makes it worthwhile, even, as Nadel says, “at its most depraved.” Refusing to dodge or excuse (at, it should be mentioned, Crumb’s specific urging) the racist and misogynistic content that has drawn understandable anger over the decades, the book is a well-rounded, thoughtful portrait of the artist that I believe will be pored over and discussed for many years to come.”
