Fritz the Cat romped his way right into icon status by indulging in the drugs and free love of the 1960s. . Crumb delivered most of his satirical commentary on that tumultuous decade.The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat chronicles Fritz's adventures from his early days as an idealistic college student to the bitter end, where the burned-out boozing and womanizing Fritz sees his stardom fizzle. This comprehensive collecti-on of Fritz comics is a fun record of a provocative period in American social history. It was through Fritz that legendary cartoonist R
First time in hardcover! Robert Crumb’s first great character in fact, his second-best-known character next to Mr. Plus an introduction by Crumb, sketchbook pages, and more.

Comics that made Crumb famous against his will
Ryan said very good collection, issues with seller. Pros:Good stories, a great insight to historic comics of the 60's, and a nice thing for any comic collector to ownCons:Pages printed out of order(At least for my copy)Pages 17 and 18 are switched, even though the numbers are in the right order. My only guess is that the numbers were printed before hand, and they printed the comic on the wrong side of each page. If I can get this resolved quickly, I'll boost it to a 5 star rating.. Five Stars Matthew W. Wilson R. Crumb's classic Fritz The Cat. Get it. Done.. Robert Crumb's Crown Jewel! Superb HC reprint from Crumb's classic FRITZ series, it makes a great addition to anybody's library.A must have if you're a 60's underground comix fan as yours truly.
