The Complete Crumb Comics #14
"A Compliment" is a standout entry in The Complete Crumb Comics series, showcasing Robert Crumb’s signature blend of raw humor and eccentric detail. This 2000 Fantagraphics issue features Crumb’s own artwork, inking, and lettering, with a cover by Crumb that mirrors the interior’s distinctive style. The collection opens with a title page, indicia, and table of contents that include a previously published illustration from Kar-tunz magazine, setting the tone for the irreverent, offbeat storytelling that defines Crumb’s work.
