Robert Crumb and Art Spiegelman | S3, E9 | DIALOGUES

Two icons of the comics world-and old friends-tell their cartoonist origin stories, from the psychedelics-fueled breakthroughs of the 1960s to finding their singular styles and to the generational divide among the comics cognoscenti today. R. Crumb is one of the founding fathers of the alternative comics movement, and Art Spiegelman is equally influential, having authored the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus.

Interesting that “underground” comics has become “alternative” comics. When’d that happen?
