Back in print after a several-year absence, this ninth volume spotlights Crumb's work from roughly 1972-1973, one of the more controversial periods of Crumb's career, notably due to this volume's title story, 'R. Crumb Vs. the Sisterhood,' Crumb's male fantasy rebuttal to his feminist critics. Another highlight is the little-seen 'Nut Factory Blues,' the dialogue of which is mainly taken from conversations and correspondence with his older brother Charles, who lived in a mental hospital at the time and was later immortalized in the Crumb documentary.
