Behind its cover of dancing rednecks lies more fun from R. Crumb. One of the standouts of this issue is a long philosophical strip called "Can You Stand Alone And Face Up To The Universe?" In it Crumb asks the big questions and comes up with answers both thoughtful and hilarious. The drawings in this strip are especially beautiful. Another highlight is Crumb's journalistic coverage of the Academy Awards. Unlike the fawning celebrity love of the mainstream media, Crumb responds to Hollywood with an abject horror and revulsion both hilarious and spot-on in its brutal observations. More beautifully drawn fun from the master.

The one of the greatest things about this comic is that it is just as relevant to read a story about giving Donald Trump a twirly today as it was when this was first published in 1989. Some douche bags just never go away. Sandwiched between the usual Flakey Foont and Mister Natural hilarity is one of Crumb's all time masterpieces: an adaption of Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea. Crumb's obsessively detailed drawings perfectly capture the claustrophobic surrealism of the writing. This is one of the greatest literary collaborations in comics' history, a perfectly rendered piece of art that one can read over and over.

Crumb cranks up the ridiculous factor with Hup 2. This is a collection of slapstick comedy strips starring the Mighty Power Fems, Flakey Foont, Mister Natural and Devil Girl. At times this devolves into the territory of masturbatory fantasy, yet Crumb's drawings are always beautiful to look at. He was at the top of his game by this point and all the drawings are filled with lovely cross-hatched details.

Back in print for the first time in years! These are classic R. Crumb comics from one of the strongest phases of his career. This issue is filled with the usual suspects: the Rough-Tuff Cream-Puffs, Mister Natural, Flakey Foont, and Devil Girl engaging in typical Crumb hilarity. But what really sets this issue apart is one of his all-time greatest hits: My Troubles With Women Part Two. This long strip is one of Crumb's tour de forces and possibly one of the greatest comics ever done about human sexuality. Crumb strips the subject down to the bone in an obsessive examination that pulls no punches and is one of the most laugh out loud funny things he's ever done.

In 1994, French cartoonist Emmanuel Guibert befriended an American veteran named Alan Cope and began creating his new friend's graphic biography. Alan's War was the surprising and moving result: the story of Cope's experiences as an American GI in France during World War II. How the World Was is Guibert's return to the life of his friend. Cope died several years ago, but Guibert kept working to commit his friend's story to paper. Cope grew up in California during the great depression, and this remarkable graphic novel details the little moments that make a young man's life, while capturing the scope of America during the great depression.
