Motor City Comics

Robert Crumb’s Motor City Comics is a brief, two-issue series from Last Gasp, launched in 1991 and still ongoing, showcasing the singular, unvarnished vision of its creator. Featuring Crumb’s unmistakable, intricate linework and his signature blend of autobiographical confession, social satire, and underground comix sensibility, the series stands as a concentrated dose of his late-career work. Though short in run, it matters as a direct, unfiltered entry in Crumb’s long-running dialogue with American culture.
