Description

Robert Crumb - Original Art, Complete 1-page Story for The East Village Other, "Western Man" (East Village Other, 1967). A lot of today's top underground artists got their start in college and independent newspapers, with Crumb being no exception. This piece represents one of his earliest published works available on the market today. Dated 11/15/67, "Western Man" bears a striking resemblance to LBJ. This page was also later reprinted in R. Crumb's Head Comix. The panels on the page seem to have been drawn individually, then glued to a larger page, so some panels have slight glue marks around them. Still, this page, measuring 8" x 14", is very early and a great addition to any Crumb collection.
