It’s a transreal depiction of overly wild mental self-examination or self-warping-and I’ve done a lot of that over the years, as part of my creative process of believing (temporarily) some really strange ideas while getting my head into the right space for writing my various SF and pop-sci works. This image has always unsettled me in a deep way, as I can so easily visualize myself doing what this man has done. The set includes high-quality prints of the old covers, one of my favorites is shown above.

His work, Philbert Desanex’ 100,000th Dream is one of my all time favorites, and I dream of writing a novel that’s somehow akin to it.Ĭover of Zap #8, Copyright © R. I wish I could meet Gilbert Shelton sometime.
R CRUMB PENIS PDF
And here’s a PDF of an interview I did with Paul for Mondo 2000 back in 1993 when Paul was painting on black velvet. Also he had a show at the Steven Wolf gallery last year. Paul Mavrides doesn’t have a website for his work, but you can do a Google image search to see lots of photos of his work, and of him. You can see a lot of work by Robert Williams on his website. My mind snapped and went ahead and bought the thing. But, filled with the joy of talking to Robert Williams (who did the cover of the first edition of my book All the Visions) and to my pal Paul Mavrides. I was planning not to buy the massive six volume + portfolio of prints Complete Zap Comix-the price is exorbitant.
R CRUMB PENIS PLUS
Clay Wilson” Click for a larger version of this image plus the next frame. Here’s the fairly hilarious conclusion of that jam, this frame largely drawn by Shelton with Wilson in the background, and with the follow-up frame including Spain and Mavrides.Ī frame from “(Self) Important Comics” in Zap #14, pen and ink on paper, Copyright © 1998 by Gilbert Shelton, Paul Mavrides, Spain, Robert Williams, Victor Moscoso, and S. pitchwoman Betty Furness to the court of a king. Crumb’s amputated penis and the tattooed mummy of T. In the resulting jam, various seedy and eldritch cartoon characters are bringing R. There’s a famous story about Crumb declining to participate in the traditional group “jam session” comic for Zap #14, and the other artists were mad at him. Clay Wilson has brain damage from a fall. Spain Rodriguez and Rick Griffin are dead. Of the eight Zap artists, Paul Mavrides, Robert Williams, and Victor Moscoso were there. There were 17 issues of Zap, running from #0 through the new #16 included with the set. Sylvia and I went to the book launch party for the Complete Zap Comix boxed set at City Lights this week.
