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 sometimes collaborator Aline, and their daughter Sophie. Add to this his mistress of fifteen years and you have not only a catalogue raisonné 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".

(PUNK MAGAZINE). Holmstrom, John & Eddy "Legs" McNeil, Editors. New York: Punk Publications Inc., 1979. First Edition. 4to. Stapled Illustrated Wrappers. Music Periodical. Fine.. 42pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Clash cover art by B. (Bruce) Carleton. Published by the precocious, preternaturally snotty John Holmstrom and "Legs" McNeil, "Punk" was the primarily New York centric late seventies standard-bearer for the punk rock music scene. Part "Creem" wannabe, part comic book, it mixed fan adoration, eclectic illustration, and irreverent attitude to burn into a relatively short-lived, delightful mash-up of coverage of the burgeoning music scene. This seventeenth installment includes contributions by or about Chuck Wepner, (an interview with questions for, but no answers from) The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Bob Gruen, David Johansen, Roberta Bayley, Destroy All Monsters - with a Niagara centerfold, Alice Cooper, Punk's Playmate of the bi-month Leonid Brezhnev (!), Shaun Cassidy, comics by John Holmstrom, Bruce Carleton, Amelia Faulkner, Ken Weiner, and more. A bright, most handsome example of this uncommon item. Inventory Number: 022629
