As a college student in the 1960s, Art Spiegelman landed a dream job illustrating bubblegum packaging for Topps. Over the next couple decades, that commercial work gave him the financial freedom to edit two avant-garde comix series – Arcade and Raw – and to draw the first volume of Maus, his Pulitzer-winning graphic novel about the Nazi concentration camps. Yet Spiegelman has always considered his Topps work to be worthy in its own right, and a retrospective now at the Museum Ludwig proves his point. Spiegelman can make nearly any medium work for him – to startling effect – because he avoids the trap that snares most artists. Rather than cultivating a recognizable style, Spiegelman takes up the optimal vernacular for each new project. [Read more on Forbes...]

Robert Dennis Crumb, better known as R. Crumb led a group of illustrators and cartoonists that began the Underground Comix movement of the late 60's and early 70s. During a time of 'protest' of the Viet Nam War along with the Hippy Movenment and the Drug Culture, R.Crumb became famous with characters like Mr. Natural, The Big Baby, and Shuman the Human.
Were these comics a lead into the drug culture of the time? What happened capsulated in iconoclastic cartoon heroes that gave us a snapshot into what Free Love, and Anti-War were all about in the 60's and into the 70's as well?
Or was it all just a drug induced haze that guided these illustrators into a 'trip' of their own choosing? These comics came at a time of The Beatles, LSD, Hippy Counter Culture, and led down a road to Charles Manson flowered along the way by Timothy Leary!
Like Mini-skirts, motor cycles, surf-boards, and flower children... the art of R. Crumb and his follwers were a sign of the times.Robert Dennis Crumb, better known as R. Crumb led a group of illustrators and... more
