Who could have imagined that in 1972, when Aline Kominsky, a Long
Island escapee and bodaciously talented artist, broke her foot one
rainy fall day, it would result in the most unique collaboration in
comics history? Laid up in her house, she was persuaded by R.
Crumb, her nerdy, neurotic boyfriend, to pass the time drawing
together a "two-man" comic. The result is a jaw-dropping yet tender
account, not only of the joys and challenges of a legendary
marriage but also of the obstacles faced by struggling female
artists. In Drawn Together, our foremost male-female cartooning
couple recall their success at shocking America with Weirdo
Magazine, the life-altering birth of their precocious daughter
Sophie, and their astonishing move to the safe haven of France.
With an irresistible introduction and a striking four-color
section, Drawn Together becomes a graphic cause-celebre and a
must-have for any comics devotee.
