The Complete Crumb Comics Vol.5

The great artist continues to wittily dissect the body of 1960s American society. Broad parody rubs shoulders with barbed social commentary and lighthearted sexual fantasies. There''s also lots of rarities in this volume (the original front cover for Janis Joplin''s Cheap Thrills LP, a previously unpublished alternate cover for ZAP #3, a poster for The Zap Show from 1968, comix from The East Village Other and Chicago Seed, etc.). For those unfamiliar with Crumb''s work, volume five presents a respectable cross section of the oeuvre of the grand old man of Underground comix.
