"Rumored for years, Drawn Together finally charts the daily exploits and erotic craziness of this “First Couple” of comics.
Who
could have imagined that in 1972, when Aline Kominsky, a Long Island
escapee and bodaciously talented artist, broke her foot one rainy fall
day, it would result in the most unique collaboration in comics
history? Laid up in her house, she was persuaded by R. Crumb, her
nerdy, neurotic boyfriend, to pass the time drawing together a
“two-man” comic. The result is a jaw-dropping yet tender account, not
only of the joys and challenges of a legendary marriage but also of the
obstacles faced by struggling female artists. In Drawn Together, our foremost male-female cartooning couple recall their success at shocking America with Weirdo Magazine,
the life-altering birth of their precocious daughter Sophie, and their
astonishing move to the safe haven of France. With an irresistible
introduction and a striking four-color section, Drawn Together becomes a graphic cause-célèbre and a must-have for any comics devotee."
