It's the old story. When TASCHEN released the first limited edition
of R. Crumb Sketchbooks: 1982-2011, fans drooled over the gorgeous
packaging of this six-volume boxed set, the artist's thoughtful
editing, the hand-written introduction, marbleized page edges, and
signed Crumb colored art print. Not all, however, could afford the
steep price. So they whined and coveted, with the wail growing
louder when the second boxed set, 1964-1982, was released the next
year. Covet no more. R. Crumb Sketchbook, Volume 2: Sept. 1968 -
Jan. 1975 combines the two middle volumes from the second boxed
set, produced directly from the original artworks now belonging to
an ardent French collector, into one fat 444-page Crumb feast, at
an irresistible price. This book contains hundreds of sketches from
the master of underground comic art, including cover roughs for
Zap, Motor City and Despair comics, the introduction of Aline, the
first female Yetis, Flakey Foont and Mr. Natural, Honeybunch
Kaminski, San Francisco drug culture and big buoyant butts, all
wrapped up in a quality hard cover featuring front and back
illustrations newly hand-colored by Crumb himself.
