Heroes of the Blues

I read Heroes of the Blues and have come to think that it is my favorite illustrations by Robert Crumb. I felt that even though the illustrations were really detailed and rendered, they were still iconic in a way that they are easily recognizable. If you know anything about these guys, you would be able to recognize them in the comic. I also like these cards because it is very consistent and structured but doesn't lose the viewers attention because of the illustrative and colorful drawings. Usually when I think of comics, a funny caption or drawing comes to mind. In this set of comic cards, comics are actually used for an educational purpose, that, in my opinion, is very useful. The information is direct and to the point and the almost photo-realistic drawings help you understand who these legends really are.
