In many ways, American cartoonist Robert Crumb was the "Bob Dylan of Comics" during the 1960s — just like Dylan did for music, Crumb opened up the field of comics for individual self-expression. Why is he considered "The Father of Underground Comics" and what's the significance of his ongoing body of work that documents the birth, life, and aging of America’s Baby Boom Generation? It's time to uncover the incredible artistic, autobiographic, and journalistic talent of an American cartoonist icon.
Join New York Adventure Club as we explore a “greatest hits” of the vast catalog of comic artworks by American cartoonist Robert Crumb — from his earliest comics as a teenager coming of age in the late ‘50s and Underground Comix explosion in the ‘60s, to his decade-defining works of the ‘70s and eye- opening artworks of the 21st century.
