''The Complete Crumb Comics'' was an award-winning series of collections from Fantagraphics Books which was intended to reproduce the entire body of American cartoonist and comic book artist/writer Robert Crumb's comics work in chronological order, beginning with his fanzine work from as early as 1958. While the series was intended to be complete, there is some material missing (most notably ''The Yum Yum Book'', the copyright of which is owned by Crumb's ex-wife Dana,〔Pahls, Marty. Introduction to ''The Complete Crumb Comics'' Vol 2. Fantagraphics Books 1988. ISBN 978-0-930193-62-1〕 but which has otherwise been in print as ''Big Yum Yum Book: the Story of Oggie and the Beanstalk''). Its publication is considered to have brought more serious attention to Crumb's oeuvre, and was one of the earliest attempts to collect a cartoonist's full body of work.〔 The series lasted 17 volumes and was published up until 2005. After this, Crumb's work will be collected in individually titled collections, and not be part of the official numbered series.〔Volume 17 of "The Complete Crumb Comics", which will be the final volume in the numbered series of compilations. Subsequent volumes will be individually titled collections of various bodies of work, such as "Hup" and "Mystic Funnies."〕 ==Volumes== All volumes have been published at some point in both softcover and hardcover editions. Two box sets have also been produced, collected Volumes #1-5 and #6-10, with a slip case and signed plate, limited to 400 sets each. The first two volumes contain material going back as far as Crumb's teenage years, from before he had had his comics professionally. Some consider this material to be non-essential, and that it would be better for a newcomer to start with later volumes.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Complete Crumb Comics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
