The Girls of R. Crumb Statue: Catholic School Girl Signed Limited Edition Author: [Crumb, Robert] Place: Milwaukee Publisher: Bowen Designs Date: 2001 Description: Sculpted by Kent Melton after R. Crumb's design. 11" tall. Fully painted. Limited Edition: 25/100, signed on the underside of the base and inscribed to Water Row Books publisher Jeffrey Weinberg: "To Jeffrey... Nice job they did, huh? R. Crumb." Excellent condition, as-new in box. "Long ago - why, it seems like it was another century - come to think of it, it was another century - I was a good Catholic boy, attending Catholic school, answering the catechism questions correctly.... I lived for a pat on the head from the brides of Jesus. I never, ever had impure thoughts! Then, in seventh grade something began to change in me. Some of those GIRLS over there, these girls who I'd never paid much attention to before... Something about the way some of their bodies were growing, getting bigger... Their school uniforms seemed to fit more snugly. Part of me was growing bigger as well! ... And then some of them would give you this LOOK... they'd SMIRK at you in a challenging way... DARING you to get fresh with them. It was most disconcerting!" —R. Crumb, Nov. 2000. The back-of-the-box illustration of a sweaty Crumb nervously poking at his figurine while "admiring the fine workmanship of the finished figure" is worth the price of admission alone. A limited edition of 100 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues are available. Over 200 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com or visit: https://www.pbagalleries.com/content/comics/. R. Crumb says, "I found [PBA's catalogue] so interesting that I am saving it for the texts that accompany the comics which were put up for auction. This is some of the best commentary I’ve yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books. I especially enjoyed the reviews of the post-war horror comics. Great. Priceless." Consignments welcome for PBA's Spring 2021 Comic Book sale. Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age and Silver Age comics, original art and ephemera sought. Send inquiries to ivan@pbagalleries.com.
