The Crumb Compendium
The Definitive R. Crumb Bibliography
The definitive reference guide to the career of the greatest cartoonist of all time. There have been other attempts at R. Crumb checklists and bibliographies published over the years, the best of which was Don Fiene's R. Crumb Checklist, originally published in 1981 by Boatner Norton Press; it represented a landmark volume in Crumb scholarship. Now, after several years of research and 30 years since that invaluable reference work, Carl Richter delivers The Crumb Compendium, a comprehensive guide to everything Crumb has published during his 45-year career in cartooning. The Crumb Compendium lists and organizes all of Crumb's published work to date: comics, papers and other periodicals, books, catalogs, posters, juvenilia, cards and all other printed ephemera. Records and CDs as well as merchandise like buttons, statues and shirts are also included, as well as listings of articles and interviews, characters and comic strip titles and published photographs.
