Hup #1

In "The Ruff-Tuff Cream-Puffs Take Charge!", R. Crumb dives deep into his own mind with a surreal, self-examining tale that probes the origins of his more unconventional impulses. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Crumb himself, this 1987 issue from Last Gasp is a raw, unfiltered exploration of psyche and humor, rendered with the unmistakable style of its creator. The cover, also by Crumb, captures the story’s offbeat energy in bold, hand-drawn lines.
