He's all -- and none -- of the above. His name is Cage. You think you know him? Think again. ? THE STORY: Cage has got a major skeleton in his closet. A skeleton that someone's about to dig up, dust off, and lay on the table. Question is, when they do, can Cage ante up? ? THE FORMAT: 32 pages, with ads. Printed on glossy stock paper. ? THE WARNING: Contains explicit content. Recommended for adult readers. 7-59606-05255-4-00411 2.99 Cover price $2.99.

Volume 9 - 1st printing. "October 1972 to June 1975!" R. Crumb has written and drawn sketchbooks continually from the early 60s to present. Fantagraphics is proud to present these sketchbooks, in facsimile form, as a comprehensive series of volumes. Volume 9 covers 1972 through 1974 and represents one of the more inquisitive and soul-searching periods in this phenomenal artist's life. These sketchbooks represent something never before achieved in the field of art and literature: a single, unified, organic, (and ongoing) life's work. Crumb's sketchbooks are, as a body of work, incomparable in their magnitude, scope, and intensity, and therein lies their uniqueness and value. Unrecognizable as straight autobiography, these books chronicle Crumb's perceptions more than his life itself. As such, they offer a rare and often raw insight into process: how ideas are formed, how connections are made, how technique and craft are honed, and how the ability to "see" is truly cultivated. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 128 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $39.95.
