The R.Crumb Site is pleased to announce our 2015 Summer Print Sale of rare lithographs and etchings from sold-out editions. Publisher Alex Wood is offering select prints from his personal collection at the most reasonable prices available. Their authenticity and quality is guaranteed by Wildwood Serigraphs and the Official R.Crumb Site. 

"All of our editions are sold directly to the public (not through any galleries) at extremely low prices. I've had people in the "Art Biz" tell me the artwork would sell better if it were priced higher, that no one is going to take any artwork seriously if it's priced below a grand. But that's not how we feel, and Crumb is insistent on keeping his artwork as affordable as possible for all of his readers.

"Once an edition sells out, the print values increase, of course. It's difficult to assess how much each print is worth. Prices on ebay help establish the market value, and also auctions. I've heard, for example, that the Cheap Thrills print sold for as much as $2,800, and selling regularly at $2,500 in galleries. All I know is we try to offer any sold out print at the lower end of the spectrum. I want people to feel confident that if they're buying a print from rcrumb.com, they're getting an authentic print in perfect condition at a good price."

The R.Crumb Site is pleased to announce a new etching edition, 

Bruegel's The Hay Harvest

Crumb's new etching is taken from Bruegel's painting The Hay Harvest (1565). One reason we're publishing this image is because Crumb's skill at translating a painting into a black and white ink drawing is under-appreciated. It's a beautiful illustration, almost like an engraving. Another reason is because Crumb's original drawing of the three haymakers is owned by a Norwegian collector named Tomas Brudvik, who was kind enough to send us a high resolution scan of the print. So we're starting with original artwork, which helps in our attempt to get the best possible print. Lastly, and I'm sorry to have to report this, but many of our customers can't seem to get their wife's approval for Crumb's work going up on the wall–well, this print is for all those kind, patient and saintly husbands. 

There are only 40 prints in this edition, with 5 artist proofs and 3 printer proofs. The archival white paper is 11 x 14 inches. The image area is 6.5  x 9 inches. Each print is numbered, dated and signed by Crumb (his signature is not shown in the picture because the prints are on the West Coast being signed at the moment). Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed.

CRUMB IS CHARLIE

R.Crumb's response to the Charlie Hebdo killings

As most fans know, Crumb lives in France. In Paris, on January 7th, 12 people were assassinated in the office of the weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo by Muslim fanatics. Within 24 hours after this, the  French daily newspaper Libération requested Crumb draw a cartoon in memory of and support for the victims. Crumb did, with a provoking cartoon in the tradition of Charlie Hebdo.  

A day later, a reporter for the New York Observer interviewed Crumb about the Charlie Hebdo incident, his insight into the slain editor and his cartoon. You can read the interview here:

MR. NATURAL #3

Rare Crumb comic rereleased

In early 1976, The Village Voice hired Crumb to do a full page weekly strip of Mr. Natural. Crumb created 40 pages until he could no longer continue the strip. Almost a year later, in 1977, Denis Kitchen proposed they compile the strips into one comic book. Crumb agreed, and then created the front and back covers and then the inside covers to complete the comic. It was first published by Kitchen Sink in 1977. It's been out of print for more than 10 years.

37 years after it was first published, we scanned and cleaned each page of a pristine "first printing" comic book (Crumb's copy). We rebuilt the color pages so there will be no moire patterns. Crumb Comics is now pleased to release another "lost" Crumb comic book – Mr. Natural #3, one complete continuous story featuring Mr. Natural. 

Editor Alexander Wood interviewed Crumb about this comic book… what he was going through when he created it and what he thinks about it now. This interview is available on our website at http://www.crumbproducts.com/pages/about/MrNatural3.html

MR. NATURAL #3 SERIGRAPH

Companion to comic released

In conjunction with the release of the Mr. Natural #3 comic book, rcrumb.com is pleased to announce the release of the new Mr. Natural #3 serigraph edition. The dimensions and the quantity of this edition are smaller than the usual editions as per Crumb's instructions. The paper size is 15" x 21." The image size is 11" x 15.5." It's a 7 color edition printed on Rives BFK 100% archival rag white paper. There are 70 prints in the edition, with 7 artist proofs and 3 printer proofs.

Because of its smaller size and because of the small amount of colors needed to print this edition, we're offering it at an unusually low price of $290. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which was written by Crumb, and a guarantee for your complete satisfaction or your money back.
