Aline Kominsky-Crumb created autobiographical underground comics about sex, family, ageing, body image and the refusal to present herself as respectable or visually idealised. Need More Love combines comics, photographs, paintings and memoir to trace her childhood, art-school years, relationships and life within the underground-comics scene. Her stories in Twisted Sisters and collaborative work with Robert Crumb use deliberately grotesque self-caricature and blunt sexual humour to challenge polished representations of women. Kominsky-Crumb's drawing is rough, exaggerated and inseparable from the voice: confessional, funny and often confrontational. Her work fits feminist underground comics, graphic memoir and autobiographical cartooning, particularly for readers interested in the roots of later first-person alternative comics. Read more Less
