The letter from Jeffrey Weinberg of Water Row Books offers a notebook by Charles Crumb to Marvin Sackner. The covers and eight pages are reproduced as photocopied colored sheets. These depict obsessive dense, linear calligraphic markings as well as scattered cartoon-like head portraits. Unfortunately, the book was sold prior to the Sackners offer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-37987-39872
Scope and Contents

The composition books of Charles Crumb are described as "books with hundreds of pages of inscrutable pen marks, in series of wiggly lines, m's of n's, or just dots. These 'secret writings' may have been decipherable to him, but they remain a mystery to those he left behind." The Sackner Archive holds one of these composition notebooks. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
