The Complete Crumb Comics, Vol. 12: We're Livin' in the "Lap o' Luxury!"

The twelfth volume spotlights Crumb's first collaborations with writer Harvey Pekar, which appeared in Pekar's magazine American Splendor (also the name of Pekar's biopic). This collection also includes a skeptical report-in-comics on an aerospace symposium, which comes off like a forerunner of Michael Moore's cocky documentary films), an evocative period piece featuring 1930s jazz musicians, and other pieces.
