Seminal underground comics artist Crumb has gained wider recognition, thanks to an acclaimed documentary about him. Libraries wanting some representative Crumb in the wake of the movie may be better served by this single volume featuring one of his most famous creations than by the multivolume reprinting of all of his work that Fantagraphics has about half-completed. The bearded, robed, curmudgeonly guru Mr. Natural hasn't changed much since his 1967 debut. An ever-serene-but-horny philosopher-for-hire, dispensing enlightenment to an undeserving world—is he a wise, grizzled mystic or a cynical charlatan? A teller of timeless truths or a sixties anachronism? Wherever he appears, so do his most loyal acolyte, Flakey Foont, and his obsession, the lusty Devil Girl. The collection constitutes a sheer delight for those who have followed the Natch's exploits over the years, yet it is completely accessible to nonaficionados—at least those undaunted by the raunchiness that is another thing that hasn't changed since the sage's early days

Crumb classics from Dirty Laundry and Arcade, full-cover covers for books, comics and LPs, and Crumb’s complete serial from the pages of the Village Voice . This volume contains Crumb classics Dirty Laundry #2 (the ground-breaking Crumb/Kominsky jam), the last of the Arcade strips, full-cover covers for books, comics and LPs, and Crumb’s complete 40-page epic Mr. Natural serial from the pages of the Village Voice . In it, our hero, having given up on the "wise man" business, has sent away all his students and lives a quiet life. But during a particularly arduous meditation, he wrestles with the Devil, and at last achieves total enlightenment. He's locked up in a nut house right away, of course. Thus endeth the Age of Aquarius. Other classic stories include "I Once Lived the Life of a Millionaire" (the Snoid vs. The Revolution) and "Josephine and the Cross-Eyed Quadroon" (which covers just about all the bases, political incorrectness-wise). Re-live the 20th Century with Crumb!

Ni el Feng Shui, ni el Tai Chi ni cualquier otro orientalismo mediado y mal entendido a los que el desconcertado hombre moderno se aferra como a clavos ardiendo, ni toda esa pseudoliteratura de autoayuda ni el mismísimo Dalai Lama... ¡Nada ni nadie va a salvarnos de nosotros mismos! Pero todavía hay un hilo de esperanza, una opción más allá de cualquier filosofía venida desde la más genuina contracultura de los años 60. En una edición definitiva -con un porcentaje importante de material inédito- llega el único místico posible, el más genuino gurú, el profeta del siglo, el personaje más longevo del maestro Robert Crumb>/b>... Desechemos cualquier doctrina de moda y abramos nuestras almas a Mr. Natural, atendamos sus axiomas y escuchemos sus revelaciones. Sólo él será capaz de sanar nuestra pobreza de espíritu y guiarnos hacia LA TRASCENDENCIA. (Pero, ante todo, mucha calma.)
