R. Crumb: Existential Comics
This volume brings together twenty-five of R. Crumb’s most ambitious, acclaimed, and profound comics.One of the most influential and iconic cartoonists of our time, R. Crumb is celebrated for pushing the boundaries of representation, mass consumerism, and polite society. The comics in this volume exemplify Crumb’s creative output over twenty-five years following his early experimentation in the 1960s and 1970s. The comics collected here depict characters searching for an understanding of the world around and within themselves. Through adaptation, autobiography, biography, and short fiction, Crumb—much like his subjects—demands we pay attention to our darkest desires, compulsions, fears, and obsessions.

Editor Dan Nadel’s essay further weaves together Crumb’s life, career, and influences, delving into the creative environment that informed some of the artist’s most outstanding comics.

Keiko vegyesboltja
A harminchat éves Keiko eladónőként dolgozik egy tokiói élelmiszerboltban. Mindig furcsa lány volt, egészen kis korától kezdve különös dolgokat gondolt, mondott és tett, egészen addig, amíg tizennyolc éves korában rá nem talált a boltjára, ahol - az érthetetlen és kiszámíthatatlan külvilággal ellentétben - tökéletesen átlátja a szabályokat, és mindent meg is tesz azért, hogy megfeleljen, hogy olyan legyen, mint a többiek.
Neki ez a világa, ő így boldog, és bár a környezete, a családja folyamatosan igyekszik rávenni arra, hogy menjen végre férjhez, hogy szüljön, vagy legalább találjon magának valami rendes munkát, neki esze ágában sincs elhagyni ezt a számára otthonos és megnyugtató világot.
Egy nap azután a folyamatos létszámhiánnyal küzdő boltba új munkatárs érkezik… Siraha harmincöt éves, szintén egyedülálló. A két magányos ember rövid időn belül „egymásra talál”, és olyan egyezséget köt, amely bár bizarrnak tűnhet, ideig-óráig mindkettejük nyugalmát biztosítja, és megvédi őket a mindenbe durván beleavatkozni vágyó szülők, barátok, kollégák kéretlen és tapintatlan tanácsaitól. Ideig-óráig…
Keiko különös egyéniségén és sorsán át egy ismeretlen, hideg fényekben fürdő, élére és sarkára állított világ tárul fel az olvasó előtt, de nem csupán a boltok, a kereskedelem világa ez, hanem a koré és a nagyvárosé is, amelyben élünk, sőt valójában a munkába, az alkalmazkodásba, a szabályokba menekülő vagy éppen azok mögött mindörökre elvesző emberé, akiben hol mosolyogva, hol rémülten ismerünk magunkra.

Precious Rubbish
''If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet, then every panel I''ve finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember.'' Kayla E.''s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children''s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation, rural poverty, and incest. The author''s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls, satirical advertisements, games, and puzzles. While the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humour that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. The debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E., Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labour in the meaning-making process, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author, the subject, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious.
