      R. Crumb recently released a huge illustrated version of the Bible verbatim that is worth checking out. 

      Not a a lot of people know his daughter Sophie Crumb has put out two pretty good comix and her style is a lot like R's.

      This political article is pretty amazing, reporting on new documents made public at the Reagan library that show how taxpayer money was actually funding planted pro-war news and commentary during the 80s: http://www.consortiumnews.com/2010/030810.html

      My guitarist just came across about 90 rare underground comix from the 60s-70s which he's looking to sell if anyone's interested. Some common stuff but mostly uncommon from what I saw. Fine litterature! I don't got the dough...

      One under appreciated comic: Dirty Plotte by Julie Doucet the French Canadian. I believe there are ten issues.

      On a friend's recommendation I read a comic by Daniel Clowes (of "Ghost World" fame) called "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron." It's indescribably weird and great. David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" might be the only reference point, with plot points stolen from "Helter Skelter" and Thomas Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49."

      YES! The Crumb bible is SWELL!
      Also check out the (Basil) Wolverton Bible, just as crazy!

      Sophie Crumb has a lot of experimental stuff in the early MOMEs from Fantagraphics. That family is full of Comics, Aline Kominsky-Crumb does some fun stuff as well.

      Is there a list of the books your buddy is selling? I can't buy any now, but potential buyers sure would like to catch a look at a list, no? Just out of interest: What's in it? ZAP? Some old MADs? Dopesmokin' Hippy Comix?
