The incredibly varied stories include People Make me Nervous, Uncle Bob’s Mid-Life Crisis, Kraft Ebbing’s Psycopathia Sexualis, The Life of Philip K Dick, among many more. Also included are several photo strip stories featuring Crumb and his trademark well- built women, including his wife Aline Kominsky-Crumb. Robert Crumb is the undisputed pioneer of underground comics. His books include LAST GASP’S R. CRUMB TITLES Kafka, The Complete Crumb Comics (17 volumes), HAVE SOLD 40,000 COPIES The R.
