COMPLETE CRUMB COMICS SC VOL 12 CURR PTG (OCT090910)

Description

"Back in print after a several-year absence, the twelfth volume of CCC spotlights Crumb's first collaborations with writer Harvey Pekar, which appeared in Pekar's magazine American splendor. This collection also includes a skeptical report-in-comics on an aerospace symposium (commissioned by CoEvolution Quarterly, it comes off like a forerunner of Michael Moore's cocky documentary films), Crumb's encounter with a pot-smoking interviewer from high Times magazine, an evocative period piece featuring 1930s jazz musicians, another of Crumb's collaborative 'jams' with wife Aline Kominsky, and other pieces.
