They have little to do with the standard procreative urge, Mr. Crumb admits. He has also said he
finds nothing more boring than someone else’s sexual obsessions, and yet through his long career
the world’s most famous underground cartoonist has felt compelled to include his own sex
fantasies in his art. He explains it as a compulsive catharsis, while fans call R. Crumb’s erotic
fantasies the Master at his best.

Now Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single page drawings to
create a 258 page encyclopedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between
1980 and 2006, and all strips are hand-colored for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books.
In total the book features 14 complete stories, including My Troubles With Women, If I Were a
King, A Bitchin’ Bod, and How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl, as well as 60 single page
drawings.

The artist admits it’s a little scary to see his most fevered obsessions collected end to end like
this, but fans will find Robert Crumb’s Sex Obsessions a fascinating peek inside an often
tortured, always brilliantly talented mind, as well as an unparalleled collector’s item.

This signed limited edition of 1,000 copies is a work of art in itself, with every part of the
book—front and back covers, spine, and introductory pages—created for this project by Robert
Crumb.

Each book also comes with an art print selected by Mr. Crumb (frame
not included).
