R. Crumb’s “A Short History of America”

2

Are we the only ones who wish the last panel of this series (which can be seen in Terry Zwigoff‘s 1994 film Crumb) contained some Jetsons-inspired flying cars?

Speaking of R. Crumb, while the legendary illustrator’s highly-anticipated comic adaptation of The Book of Genesis doesn’t come out until October, you can already check out a panel of it here. (If you’re a New Yorker subscriber, an 11-page excerpt ran in the Fiction Issue early last month.) Hardcore fans will be glad to learn that there’ll also be a 250 copy limited-edition run that comes complete with a signed print and a price tag of $500. Expensive no doubt, but word is it should sell out fast. Earlier this week Boing Boing posted about R. Crumb’s Sex Obsessions, a $700 book that explores the artist’s fascination with getting large women to give him piggyback rides, and the like.

The takeaway? An R. Crumb habit is going to cost you.

I'm going to have to sell a lot of nachos to get one of those!

There goes a house payment….or two!
