Following the recent reprint of the expanded volume one, and with volume three coming at the same time, this marks the first time all three books have been in print for a decade. The Complete Crumb Comics: Vol. 2 features several key stories from Crumb's pre-underground, homemade comics of the early 1960s (such as Farb and Arcade), with stories featuring early Crumb characters Fritz the Cat, Jim, Mabel and Little Billy Bean.
