Robert Crum was an interesting figure. In the movie, American Splendor, his friendship with Harvey Pekar was such a cool thing to see. His art style is inimitable and it was so cool to learn more about his childhood and how that style developed. Many of my students are art kids and, especially, comic book kids, so this one will be good for them to have as a resource.

A fascinating and compelling look into the life and times of the most famous underground comics artist.

Thanks to Scribner and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.

While I haven't had the opportunity to dive into this book yet, its unique premise and compelling subject matter caught my attention. I look forward to exploring it in the future and plan to seek out more works by this author. The thoughtful reviews from other readers, combined with the intriguing synopsis and critical acclaim, have reinforced my interest in making time for this potentially enlightening read that promises to expand my understanding of the topic.
