The work gathers drawings created by Robert Crumb following stays in New York and in Bulgaria in the mid-1960s. In the autobiographical text reproduced in the book, the author notably revisits his work for Help! magazine, edited by Harvey Kurtzman, and the genesis of his illustrated reports.

The pages alternate black-and-white drawings and the author's texts in French and English. The whole offers an interesting glimpse into Crumb's documentary work and his graphic sensibility before his emergence as a major figure of American underground comics.

An edition to discover for collectors of Robert Crumb, American comics, and independent publications of the 1990s.

Nearly mint condition, rare in this state: the copy has a very good overall appearance, with a well-preserved cover and clean inner pages. The colophon page notes a silkscreen print by Éditions Cornélius in January 1993.

Tracked and careful shipping with appropriate protection.
