In the 1960s and 1970s he helped redefine comics through his series <em>Zap Comix</em> and iconic characters such as Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural. His 2009 graphic novel <em>The Book of Genesis</em> reached number one on the <em>New York Times</em> best sellers list, further cementing his legacy as one of the world’s great cartoonists. Crumb’s life and family were chronicled in Terry Zwigoff’s 1994 documentary <em>Crumb</em>, which received numerous awards including the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. </div> </div> </div> </p></li><li><img src='https://cartoons.osu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Ivie-Event.png' alt='Larry Ivie, Al Williamson, and EC Comics'/><strong> <a href="https://cartoons.osu.edu/events/larry-ivie-al-williamson-and-ec-comics/">Larry Ivie, Al Williamson, and EC Comics</a></strong><span> March 29, 2025</span> <br /><br /><p><p><strong>Free and open to the public.
