Supervisor: Brad Vice, Ph.D. The object of this undergraduate thesis is to map the development of sequential art, comics, in the form of respectable art form influencing contemporary other artistic areas. Modern comics were developed between the World Wars primarily in the United States of America and therefore became a typical part of American culture. The thesis is divided into three major parts. The first part called Sequential Art as a Medium discusses in brief the history of sequential art, which dates back to ancient world. The chapter continues with two sections analyzing the comic medium from the theoretical point of view. The second part inquires the origin of the comic book industry, its cultural environment, and consequently the birth of modern comic book.

  • Encrumbed by the Signifying Monkey: Con Men, Cackling Clowns and the Exigencies of Desire in the Comics of Robert Crumb
    © Andrew Perry 2019 Encrumbed by the Signifying Monkey: Con Men, Cackling Clowns and the Exigencies of Desire in the Comics of Robert Crumb “What [do] we learn from reading books with characters and situations that are repugnant[?] We learn how to critique, examine and analyze texts, to see them in their time period with the human limitations of the authors. [They] may make a reader enraged, repulsed and even sickened, but may also present an opportunity to deepen perspectives on one’s own worldviews and values, and perhaps to act on them.” – Trudy Smoke (from “Letters” in The New York Times Book Review, February 3, 2019) “Sex, as society defines it, is constructed, just like everything else, and so it can be deconstructed. Our identities play such a big role in how we move through the world and create connections with others, and we fool ourselves when we ignore them. One person’s fantasy is another’s trigger, and there’s room for all of it to exist next to each other.” Arielle Egozi (“How do you define the ‘best sex ever’?” in Salon.com, March 21, 2019) “Drawing is a way for me to articulate things inside myself that I can’t otherwise grasp.” – Robert Crumb (from the R. Crumb Handbook, 2005: 394) MUDDIED WATERS Do you have strong opinions on the topic of public masturbation? Multi-generational incest? The unconsenting degradation of inebriated young women? The depiction of African- Americans as monkey-like “pickaninnies,” “coons,” and “spades?” Right from the outset it is uncomfortably clear that confronting the provocative, inflammatory role of offensive images at the throbbing core of Robert Crumb’s artistic vision is morbidly tricky.

  • R. Crumb's Book of Genesis
    For Immediate Release: June 22, 2009 Contact: Sarah L. Stifler, Communications, 310-443-7056, [email protected] The Hammer Museum Presents The Bible Illuminated: R. Crumb’s Book of Genesis On View October 24, 2009 – February 7, 2010 Los Angeles – This October the Hammer Museum presents seminal comic artist R. Crumb’s adaptation of the first book of the Old Testament, the Book of Genesis. Crumb has spent the last five years on this incredibly ambitious endeavor. The exhibition features 207 individual, black- and-white drawings incorporating every word from all fifty chapters, as well as a cover, title page, introduction and back cover. Each drawing contains six to eight comic panels illustrating the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, and more. Using his signature bawdy style, Crumb’s version of the Book of Genesis puts an entirely new twist on the Bible. This highly anticipated project has been building momentum over the last few years and it has established a huge fan base among comic and art lovers around the world. For nearly fifty years R. Crumb has contributed a plethora of zany, outrageous, and riotous figures to the world of comics. His impact on the underground comic world is immeasurable and his drawings have been highly influential to countless artists working in the contemporary art field and commercially. Drawing from everyday events and characters, he tells stories of pathetic men (often modeled after himself), randy old men chasing exceptionally voluptuous women, and other odd characters including gurus, seers and talking animals. His stories illustrate the most basic human qualities: fragility, hubris, weakness, cruelty, paranoia, neuroses, fear, and shallowness.

Les corps de la contreculture chez R. Crumb, S. Clay Wilson et Rick Griffin Jean-Paul GABILLIET La contreculture est une notion venue des Etats-Unis et popularisée en 1969 par le best-seller de Theodore Roszak The Making of a Counter Culture1. Le terme désignait alors les pratiques et critiques qui, issues de la culture dominante, visaient à en modifier les pôles, à faire basculer l’ordre de préséance entre centre et périphérie. Il s’appliquait aux deux grandes mouvances de la jeunesse progressiste américaine qui se retrouvaient autour de l’opposition à l’engagement militaire américain au Viêt Nam.

  • Del Autor De Génesis
    DEL AUTOR DE GÉNESIS KAFKA Robert Crumb & David Zane Mairowitz Novela gráfica Cartoné, b&n, 17x24 cm, 180 p. ISBN : 978-84-7833-898-6 PVP: 20 € A la venta el 26 de febrero de 2010 Casi un siglo después de su muerte, Franz Kafka permanece como uno de los escritores más modernos de entre todos los que son y han sido, persistiendo sus novelas y cuentos como influencia capital para cada nueva generación literaria. Por su parte, Robert Crumb, icono del underground de los años 60 al que hoy los museos pretenden desactivar incorporándolo a sus colecciones, resiste y se mantiene como uno de los autores de historieta más aclamados y libres del mundo. La obra de ambos comparte neurosis, humor agónico, aflicción existencial, una originalidad incontestable y cierta cualidad genial que la desplaza de su tiempo para hacerla inmortal. Secundando un texto de David Zane Mairowitz donde se desgrana el entorno, la vida y la obra de Kafka, Crumb se proyecta aquí en las circunstancias del escritor, las interpreta y nos las transmite en detalle con sus dibujos. El resultado es un extraordinario híbrido entre biografía, cómic y libro ilustrado, que supone el hermanamiento de dos de los artistas menos comunes y más hondos de nuestra era. Plaza de las Beatas, 3, entlo, 08003 Barcelona, tel.: 932682805, email: [email protected] Robert Crumb nació en Filadelfia en 1943. En 1962 consiguió un empleo como dibujante de felicitaciones en Cleveland, Ohio, pero para entonces ya llevaba años dibujando sus propios cómics. Alentado por Harvey Kurtzman, Crumb se trasladó a Nueva York y comenzó a trabajar para Help! Por desgracia, la revista cerró.

The symbolic qualities that communicate ethnicity and give ethnicity meaning in American culture are illuminated in new ways when studied within the context of the highly symbolic medium of comics. Creators of comics are able to utilize iconic qualities, among other unique formal qualities of the medium, to construct new visual narratives around ethnicity and identity, which require new and multidisciplinary perspectives for comprehending their communicative complexity.
