Graphic Novel
Aline Kominsky-Crumb, one of the earliest female
cartoonists, presents a collection of her own highly
inventive and daring artwork from over four decades, along
with unusual photographs and memorabilia. The road to
becoming an underground- comics legend begins with
Komisky-Crumb as a nice jewish girl from Long Island,
carries her to Greenwich Village in the 1960's, and to
California, land of hippy cartoonists, and on to a more or
less sedate life with hubby(equally legendary R. Crumb) and
daughter, Sophie. Her funny/sad tales show a woman
bewildered by her place in society and determined to find
her own way. These stories touch on every phase of her
existence from childhood, to sexual obsessions, food,
motherhood and, of course, her art. The book includes sharp
vignettes of the Movers and Shakers - and the jerks - of the
art and music worlds since the sixties.
