Description from the seller
Fifth volume of the legendary comic anthology “Kramers Ergot” – a visually radical and influential artistic project that unites experimental comics by international artists and is regarded as a cult publication of the alternative comics scene.
First edition. Publisher: Gingko Press, California, 2004. 288 pages, illustrated original hardcover, 28 x 22 cm
---------------------------------------------------
Kramers Ergot was in the 2000s a veritable revolution! Huge anthologies with almost 300 pages, bringing together an unprecedented number of underground artists from all over the world in one place. The range extended from exquisitely designed narratives to rough pencil sketches to colorful experiments, never seeming to be pretentious. The layout surprised with almost every page. The curatorial and editorial style was brilliantly insane and seemed to embrace chaos without ever losing coherence. You had to respect even what at first glance looked like junk when compared with the works of your favorite artists. Honestly: just the printing, the variety of papers, the breadth of representation – absolutely incomparable!

Pristine, like-new copy.
