The Comics of R. Crumb: Underground in the Art Museum makes a significant intervention in comics studies, providing the first collection of critical essays (and indeed, the first volume of sustained critical attention) on a major figure from comics history. The topical range of the essays is impressive, as is the variety in approaches. Crucially, the collection doesn't shy away from recent debates regarding Crumb's often offensive drawings and subject matter, and the individual essays all address these issues with intelligence and sensitivity.--Frederik Byrn Kohlert, author of Serial Selves: Identity and Representation in Autobiographical Comics
