The Life & Death of Fritz the Cat

The Life & Death of Fritz the Cat by Crumb, Robert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781560971177.

Comics that made Crumb famous â against his will. First time in hardcover! Robert Crumbâ s first great character â in fact, his second-best-known character next to Mr. Natural â was Fritz the Cat, the horny, hip-talking feline whose success (especially after the release of the animated movie, which Crumb loathed) caused Crumb to kill him off. The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat, back in print as an inexpensive hardcover as a companion to The Book of Mr. Natural, contains all the Fritz stories from the earliest sketchbook-drawn tales (â Hey, Olâ Cat!â and â Fritz Comes On Strongâ ) to the wild adventure stories (â Special Agent for the C.I.A.â ) to the classic â peakâ Fritz stories (â Fritz the No-Goodâ ) all the way to the despairing â Fritz the Cat, Superstarâ with its infamous ice-pick ending. Plus an introduction by Crumb, sketchbook pages, and more. 96 pages of black-and-white comics
