*A fascinating look into the working mind of the finest cartoonist of the last 30+ years. Each of the Fantagraphics volumes reproduces over 150 pages of Robert Crumb's own private sketchbooks. Watch as Crumb brilliantly records his impressions of the world around him in those halcyon pre-Zap! days. This second volume includes an extraordinary sequence of drawings of funny, lumpy old American automobiles, as well as a number of sketches and full sequences of Fritz the Cat. Other subjects include portraits of his friends, landscapes, roughed out strips, studies for commercial work, and, of course, there's page after page of the traditional Crumb women — plus eight pages of full color.
