Synopses & Reviews
"Cave Wimp" (Vol. 17) completes the 1980s and leads into the 1990s, a creatively fertile period for Crumb, who had given up the editorial reins of his own magazine to get back to the proverbial drawing board. Included are Crumb's contributions to from this period, as well as work from magazine, and many other rare gems. Featured are classics including the title story "Cave Wimp" -- the story of the first nerd -- and "A Short History of America," amongst others. This volume includes a new introduction by Crumb, full-color cover portfolio sections, and a brand new cover.
