Erotic drawings by Robert Crumb. #1 was first published in 1996 by Kitchen Sink Press, with a second volume in 2003 by Fantagraphic. This volume reprinting the first two numbers and publishing for the first time number 3 together in a limited edition of 400 copies, signed and numbered on a bookplate by Crumb, and comes in the original publisher’s shipping box. “Drawings of women in positions ranging from lascivious to modest or mid-sport are accompanied by quotations, many of which are from artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Harvey Kurtzman. Mining his own obsessions and fantasies, Crumb reimagines the history of art, challenging notions of beauty, along with society’s mores and expectations of propriety around the female form.” (publisher’s blurb)
