Robert Crumb on Zap Comix #1, 50 years later ! 

I was 17 in 1969. All shiny and ignorant. I joined the US Army. By 1971, I was a 19 year old disabled veteran out on the streets. My body & mind were fucked up.

Robert Crumb isn't the comic artist laureate we wanted... he's the one we need.

Crumb is hands down an American Icon and hands down one of the greatest of the 20th century !!!!!

It’s amazing that his voice hasn’t aged over the years!

It's amazing how he goes from sounding nerdy in the documentary to sounding like a well-ironed out grandpa now. I love and hate the progression of age.

Crumb seems to have become much more enthusiastic and personable in interviews in recent years. He seemed very inhibited and depressed in "Crumb". It's great to see him like this

What I love most about Crumb is that his tastes in everything always went to old school in terms of his art and musical tastes, as well as his clothing, etc. I'm absolutely in the same boat with having an old soul.

Crumb has a God-given gift for drawing that is truly amazing. Nobody comes close to him in terms of his completely unique style, his fantastic cross-hatching, his composition, his values, his output, his bizarre ideas, his wonderful sense of humour, his high level of literacy and intelligence. He's a true genius but he's also an extremely hard worker who lives up to the old saying "Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration" but it helps when you're born to it.

The word “legend” is used too often. But not here. This man is an American treasure.

I love artist who think outside the box. He never tried to be like anyone else but himself.

What a character. I could listen to him speak about the history of comics for hours...

It's hard to imagine the late sixties and early seventies, that iconic period, without Crumb's artwork. The "Cheap Thrills" album cover comes to mind.

The talent of Robert Crumb, transcends the "Psychadelic". He is a one-of-a-kind and he, like so many other geniuses in history, felt compelled to produce. "The Great Springwell of Creativity", as Bob Dylan would put it, "Was compelling him to work. He had no choice."

Warhol talked about "15 minutes of fame" ... Crumb has managed to accumulate 50 years & counting.

R. Crumb’s artwork is amazing, and he’s my favorite comic book artist along with Al Feldstein from EC Comics, I guess because of the heavy lines and the incredible detail.

Crumb's voice has this built in disdain....

Imagine R Crumb showing you his comic collection

I'm in the process of collecting all the Complete Crumb books that were published by Fantagraphics, he's such a great and unique artist, I love his work.

R. Crumb is The Godfather Of Underground comix! And that era was the most mind opening visual time for young artists growing up. Even if you thought yourself to be a “Real Arteest”! Great inspiration for me!

I just flashed on a memory from circa 1972,,
