Robert Crumb. Sketchbook Vol. 5. 1989–1998 (English) Book

Volume Five of the R. Crumb Sketchbooks covers two of the most noteworthy events of the artist’s life: the family’s move to southern France in 1991 and the release of Terry Zwigoff’s 1994 documentary CRUMB. Solidly in his midlife crises years, our curmudgeon finds a measure of peace and acceptance of the cruel whims of fate—until the final pages, when he pronounces himself “such a fucking QUEER.”
