A new collection of work by the legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb will be on display at the David Zwirner gallery in Los Angeles. Entitled, Tales of Paranoia, the original works on paper and prints highlight one man’s obsessions. Moreover, this is another fascinating output by Crumb. This new show is Crumb’s first extensive solo show in two decades. Many of the works in this show were made for the artist’s forthcoming book, Tales of Paranoia. This will be Crumb’s first new comic book in twenty-three years and will be published in November, 2025 by Fantagraphics. The work was made in the wake of the 2022 passing of Crumb’s wife and longtime artistic partner, Aline Kominsky-Crumb.
The show is on view from October 10—December 20, 2025. David Zwirner gallery in Los Angeles is located at 616 N Western Avenue.
