I'm not a Crumb fan but I highly recommend the "Crumb" documentary that you mention. It was very interesting hearing that he and his brothers were creating their own comic books, and there are some other useful insights to the creative process.

+1 for the film. I went to a showing in Atlanta where the director was doing a Q&A afterward. The ticket was free and I didn't have much interest in Crumb.

The documentary is absolutely fascinating, if just for the window into his family's life, if not for his work. Highly recommend.

Besides the movie, there was a musical stage play biography of Crumb and his characters about 40 years ago. The night it opened, he played in the orchestra whilst someone else played him on stage.

Just want to agree, the film Crumb is a wild documentary,and totally worth watching for adults who have any interest in counter culture.

Oh I wasn’t aware he no longer lived there

At the end of the movie "Crumb" he moves to France.
