Description

Here are three illustrations that Robert Crumb created for Paul Krassner's article "Who Killed Lenny Bruce?" from Arcade, the Comics Revue #2 (Print Mint, 1975). Krassner's title is a riff on Bruce's "Who Killed Jesus Christ?" routine.

There was no better artist than Crumb to illustrate these scenes of isolation and paranoia, and an oppressive establishment's attempt to shut down a critical voice.
