{"product_id":"9781941701706","title":"R. Crumb: Bible of Filth","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of America’s most celebrated cartoonists, R. Crumb helped define cartoon and punk subcultures of the 1960s and '70s with comic strips like \u003ci\u003eFritz the Cat\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMr. Natural\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKeep on Truckin’\u003c\/i\u003e. The open sexuality of his work, paired with frequent self-deprecation and a free, almost stream-of-consciousness style, has made Crumb into a global voice and a renowned contemporary artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in France in 1986 by Futuropolis, the first edition of \u003ci\u003eBible of Filth\u003c\/i\u003e was never distributed in the United States because of its graphic sexual content, which included some of Crumb’s most explicit comics from underground magazines such as \u003ci\u003eSnatch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJiz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eZap\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eXYZ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBig Ass\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUneeda\u003c\/i\u003e. This revised and expanded English edition, published by David Zwirner Books, contains all the original pieces from the 1986 volume, with over 100 pages of additional material. Organized chronologically, there are comics from 1968 to 1986 that were omitted from the first edition and an entirely new selection of work from after 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on bible paper and bound in leather, with gold debossing and edging, this volume looks and feels like a traditional bible, with no outward suggestion of what it contains. This revised and expanded \u003ci\u003eBible of Filth\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect introduction for newcomers, while retaining its status as an important collector’s item for Crumb enthusiasts around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Zwirner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039823675632,"sku":"9781941701706","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941701706_p0.jpg?v=1763787573","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941701706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
