Description: A CHILD'S LIFE AND OTHER STORIES Celebrated underground comic artist/writer Phoebe Gloeckner's first book, a collection of haunting tales drawn from her own disturbing childhood and young adulthood. The introduction is by Robert Crumb. The text contains graphic imagery, drug use, and high sexual content. For sale is the true first edition, first printing, issued in 1998; the more common second edition came out two years later. This copy is signed by Gloeckner on the title page, with an inscription to the former owner. A rare first and extremely rare signature. The book is in amazing condition for its 25 years, a couple faint scratches to the front cover, but essentially brand new. An outstanding collector's copy. Softcover, 8.5" X 11", 144 pages, illustrations throughout. Includes excellent anatomical drawings and other pieces spanning more than two decades of Gloeckner's work. Ships promptly & securely.
