THE
UNSEENCRUMB
"...An idealistic artist whose instincts led
him to
admire Walt Kelly
as
much
as
Caravaggio [becomes]
a
prematurely cynical—and,
not
coincidental^,definitive—commentator
on
'60s
counterculture.
70s
sell-absorption,and
'80s
aimlessness..
.For
the
roots
of
that radicalism, THE COMPLETE CRUMB COMICS
is an
indispensable
and
beautifully executed effort." —Ken
Tucker,
LA.
Weekly "No one's library
can
be
without
it."
—Alan Moore
