By Drew Hayes. As Lusiphur prepares for his showdown with the cannibalistic McLaunty clan at the Tower by the Green Shore, a young elfin thief approaches our hero with some disturbing information (at least as far as Lusiphur is concerned): it turns out this elf, who calls himself Lynn, knows everything about Lusiphur's past, and wants Lusiphur to train him. Not in the mood for an inexperienced partner, Luse scares the youngster off (but probably not for good) and storms the McLaunty clan's stronghold to find out who's been summoning him. Not content with the solution to this mystery, Drew ends issue #70 with the shocker of all shockers, as Lusiphur is transported to a locale you'll have to see to believe! Bimonthly.

Volume 9 - 1st printing. "October 1972 to June 1975!" R. Crumb has written and drawn sketchbooks continually from the early 60s to present. Fantagraphics is proud to present these sketchbooks, in facsimile form, as a comprehensive series of volumes. Volume 9 covers 1972 through 1974 and represents one of the more inquisitive and soul-searching periods in this phenomenal artist's life. These sketchbooks represent something never before achieved in the field of art and literature: a single, unified, organic, (and ongoing) life's work. Crumb's sketchbooks are, as a body of work, incomparable in their magnitude, scope, and intensity, and therein lies their uniqueness and value. Unrecognizable as straight autobiography, these books chronicle Crumb's perceptions more than his life itself. As such, they offer a rare and often raw insight into process: how ideas are formed, how connections are made, how technique and craft are honed, and how the ability to "see" is truly cultivated. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 128 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $19.95.
