Gotta Have ‘Em: Portraits of Women
Crumb, R. Los Angeles, Greybull Press, 2002.
Portraits of the women in Crumb’s life: From the published book description: “They’re all here: his high-school crushes, his paramours, the girls and women who tormented him—and to whom he gave it right back—or who caught his eye on the street, and, of course, his wife and fiery sometime collaborator, Aline, and their daughter Sophie. Add to this his mistress of fifteen years, and you have not only a catalogue raisonne of Crumb’s portraits of women but also a revealing record of a passionate life. Crumb calls it “an autobiography of sorts” and it is—these aren’t just portraits of women but the most intimate portrait of Crumb’s life in love.”
Illustrations throughout by R. Crumb. (4to) orange cloth with illustrations on covers, clamshell box. One of 100 deluxe copies. First Edition. Original print, signed and numbered, laid into box, as issued.
