Description

Before there was Robert Crumb, there was Herbert Crowley. If you dont recognize that name, youre not alone. Crowley is one of nearly 30 American cartoonists featured in this eclectic anthology, artists whose workcreated between 1900 and 1969was overshadowed by more successful contemporaries. Art Out of Time at last gives these pioneers the showcase they deserve, reprintingin most cases for the first time since their initial publicationcomplete comic books and strips by such visionaries as Raymond Ewer, Howard Nostrand, Ogden Whitney, and Dick Briefer. These under-recognized artists often deviated from the thematic and graphic conventions of the comics mediumand influenced Crumb, Art Spiegelman, and othersmaking this superb anthology a true counter history, the untold story of an underground that wasnt.
