A fleeting glimpse in the runaway hit movie Crumb only hinted at Maxon Crumb's inimitable artwork. Maxon's Poe now showcases his stunning creativity and confirms his rightful place among the Crumb family of artists.
Maxon's complex, evocative style stirs a fresh appreciation for Poe's haunting works. You'll feel them as you never have before.
The stories and poems are: "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Raven," "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "The Bells," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Cask of Amontillado."
Robert Crumb, in his preface to the book, says it all: "At last they collaborate, Edgar and Maxon, in this volume; Poe's morbid, flamboyant text with Maxon's visceral, nightmarish drawings. They are somehow uncannily well-suited to each other."
