NEED MORE LOVE. A Graphic Memoir
first edition Hardcover
2007 · London
by Crumb, Aline Kominsky
London: MQP, 2007. First edition (stated). Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Aline Kominsky Crumb. Thick small 4to. Here, Aline draws on her remarkable body of comic strips over the past four decades, many featuring her self-effacing character Bunch. She records her wild and crazy journey that took her from her beginnings as a nice Jewish girl from Long Island to kinky Greenwhich Village in the sixties, and then to California, the legendary land of sex, drugs, and underground comic books, and finally on to her medieval chateau in the south of France. A no-holds-barred hilarious and outrageous graphic memoir she faithfully chronicles her dysfunctional fifties childhood, failed first marriage, studies at art school, and family life with husband R. Crumb and their daughter Sophie. A unique blend of comics, art, photographs and memorabilia, and portrays the movers and shakers (and the jerks) of the art and music worlds from the sixties to present. Measures 7 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches, 384pp. (Inventory #: 13952)
