The multiple award-winning The Complete Crumb Comics series - the definitive, comprehensive series reprinting the entirety of Crumb's published career - enters the mid-80s with this 16^{th_{volume, a period that many critics consider to be the richest of artist's career. Anchored by Crumb's contributions to the seminal anthology Weirdo, created and edited by Crumb, this volume focuses on the years 1985-1987 and includes the seminal "Jelly Roll Morton's Voodoo Curse," from Art Spiegelman's RAW magazine. Also featured are Crumb's gorgeous "Pioneers of Country Music" color portrait series, and such Weirdo classics as "The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick," which chronicles the last years of the highly regarded science-fiction writer who experienced an intense vision of the apocalypse and believed that he was possessed by the spirit of Elijah. Also included is Crumb's first issue of Hup, his most-acclaimed solo series of the 1980s and 1990s. The book is rounded out with a new cover and introduction by Crumb, and a color section that includes rare album art for various jazz and blues greats, as well reproductions of his various comic book covers from this period. Crumb is the most revealing of all artists, and The Complete Crumb Comics leaves no stone unturned! Features a 16-page color section. Available in Softcover, as well as Hardcover and Deluxe Signed & Limited Hardcover (signed by Crumb) versions MATURE READERS}}
