This six-book boxed set is based on the original hard-bound, slip-cased, seven-volume series released by the German publisher Zweitausendeins between 1981 and 1997.

Unlike the previous edition, which included every doodle ever made by the pre-eminent underground artist, this edition has been personally edited by the notoriously fastidious artist to include only what he considers his best work, reproduced directly from the original sketchbooks.

This slip-cased set is made with loving attention to detail in a size and format selected by the artist. Each book in the set contains 224 pages, for a total of 1,344 pages of prime Crumb from the artist's most prolific, early period.

The set includes a handwritten introduction, many pages of original color works, and 50 redrawn images distinctly different from the original works.

Each set in this 1,000-copy limited edition also includes a signed, authenticated color art print of a collectible Crumb original.

With Robert Crumb's original art setting records at auction (the cover art for Mr. Natural #1 sold for $101,575 at Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries in 2007), this limited edition with signed print is sure to increase in value and be sought both as an investment by collectors and as a stunning addition to any Crumb fan's library.

Pen and ink on paper, July 11, 1975, now hand-colored by Robert Crumb for a signed lithograph in this collector's set and the dimensions of signed hand-colored lithograph are 19 x 19 cm / 7.5 x 7.5 in. (image), 25.5 x 20 cm / 10 x 7.9 in. (sheet).

Each book in the boxed set contains 224 pages, for a total of 1,344 pages of prime Crumb.

The set includes a hand-written introduction by Robert Crumb and each copy of this 1,000-copy limited edition also includes a signed color art print of the Crumb original.
