R. Crumb's Underground

This exhibition salutes local San Francisco treasure Robert Crumb with an eclectic exhibit of early work, collaborations old and new, and the world premiere of his "spool" drawings. Universally acknowledged as the founder of the underground comic scene, Crumb gained cult popularity for his pioneering Zap Comix and stardom with the Terry Zwigoff documentary, Crumb. Extending far beyond comics, the YBCA traveling exhibit shows how his work has grown in philosophical complexity.
