Journal (R. Crumb: Fritz the Cat) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree notebook series. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-stamped. They are incredibly practical: a rear pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use and an eye-catching gift. This example features R. Crumb: Fritz the Cat.

R. Crumb's work, one of the leading figures of the underground comic movement, is as distinctive as it is polarising. The eccentric social satirist first gained fame on the 1960s counterculture scene, becoming one of the most prolific and influential illustrators of the 20th century. Fritz the Cat is one of Crumb's most iconic comics, which appeared in Help!, Cavalier, and numerous underground publications from 1965 to 1972.

Exceptional titles and a wide range of authors reflect the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
