THE COMPLETE ZAP COMIX BOXED SET
[2014 | 920p. | FANTAGRAPHICS]
There scarcely was an underground comics world before Robert Crumb's classic solo first issue of Zap. By Zap #2, he had begun assembling a Seven Samurai of the best, the fiercest, and the most stylistically diversified cartoonists to come out of the countercultural kiln. All of them were extremists of one sort or another, from biker-gang member Rodriguez to Christian surfer Griffin, but somehow they produced a decades-long collaboration: a mind-blowing anthology of abstract hallucination, throat-slashing social satire, and shocking sexual excess, that made possible the ongoing wave of alternative cartoonists like Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and Charles Burns. 'The Complete Zap Comix' collects every issue of Zap — every cover and every story, and even the Zam mini comic jam among the Zap artists — in a five-volume, slipcased hardcover set. Plus, an introduction by founder R. Crumb and an oral history of Zap by Patrick Rosenkranz. Zap is the most historically and aesthetically important comics series ever published.
Also included exclusively in this boxed set is a portfolio of Zap covers by the eight artists, replicated from high resolution scans and proofs, and specially printed for this edition on acid-free, 100% cotton fine-art paper utilizing archival pigment inks.

There’s quite a lot of social commentary, from Crumb and his neurotic friends and family. It got me thinking though, that mental illness is a form of inability to conform or inability to understand the rules of society or inability to perform in a society.
And if you are lucky enough, you get to be successful because of it.
Crumb is a 1995 American documentary film directed by Terry Zwigoff and produced by Lynn O'Donnell, starring Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Charles Crumb, and Maxon Crumb.
