Love That Bunch

The Early Work Of The Pioneering Feminist Cartoonist Plus Her Acclaimed New Story Dream House Aline Kominsky-Crumb Immediately Made Her Mark In The Bay AreaS Underground Comix Scene With Unabashedly Raw, Dirty, Unfiltered Comics Chronicling The Thoughts And Desires Of A Woman Coming Of Age In The 1960S. Kominsky-Crumb DidnT Worry About Self-Flattery. In Fact, Her Darkest Secrets And Deepest Insecurities Were All The More Fodder For Groundbreaking Stories. Her Exaggerated Comix Alter Ego, Bunch, Is Self-Destructive And Grotesque But Crackles With The Self-Deprecating Humor And Honesty Of A Cartoonist Confident In The Story She Wants To Tell. Collecting Comics From The 1970S Through Today, Love That Bunch Is Shockingly Prescient While Still Being An Authentic Story Of Its Era. Kominsky-Crumb Was Ahead Of Her Time In Juxtaposing The Contradictory Nature Of Female Sexuality With A Proud, Complicated Feminism. Most Important, She Does So Without Apology. One Of The Most Famous And Idiosyncratic Cartoonists Of Our Time, Kominsky-Crumb Traces Her Steps From A Beatles-Loving Fangirl, An East Village Groupie, An Adult Grappling With Her Childhood, And A 1980S Housewife And Mother, To A New Thirty-Page Story, Dream House, That Looks Back On Her Childhood Forty Years Later. Love That Bunch Will Be Kominsky-CrumbS Only Solo-Authored Book In Print. Originally Published As A Book In 1990, This New Expanded Edition Follows Her To The Present, Including An Afterword Penned By The Noted Comics Scholar Hillary Chute.
