DRAWN TOGETHER

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.

A pioneer in the world of women's comic arts and the co-author of the celebrated Twisted Sisters, Aline Komisky arrived in San Francisco in the early 1970s, where she met and married Robert Crumb (who had already been drawing a character named Kominsky, not aware that Aline existed). Aline, immobile with a broken leg in 1974, was driving her husband so crazy that he suggested that they begin working in collaboration, and the couple have been drawing collaboratively for the last 36 years. Including a biographical introduction and hundreds of black-and-white illustrations, as well as one color section of famous covers, Drawn Together charts the the unparalleled exploits of this first couple of graphics over four decades,including depictions of a wide range of celebrities, including Timothy Leary, Charles Burns, and Art Spiegelman, among so many others. Drawn Together then is an occasion for great celebration.
