Does this Comic Book artist not understand the appeal of a Comic Book?

And people say comics can't be literature

What's the name of the brother of some famous comic artist who had increasingly wordy and philosophical (?) comics until he was finally diagnosed with some kind of mental illness?

I want an answer to this, too

R. Crumb, it’s his brother Charles Crumb you’re thinking of

No, I don't think this is it. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up with someone else, but I'm pretty sure there's another comic artist whose descent into mental illness is documented a lot better with his comics growing in dialogue until every page is basically filled with it.

You’re wrong, I’m right, get over it

>>12658820
No, the more I google about this guy you linked the more I'm certain it's not the guy.

>>12658766
Don’t think this is the guy you’re talking about, but you can easily track the mental decline of Dave Sim throughout his writing of Cerebus. Some of the later issues are brutal to read.

Robert Crumb is the guy who made those biblical comics, right? Those were neat. His style reminded me of some stuff i'd see in a mad magazine

>>12658888
Yeah that's him. I think he also did one on Phillip K Dick and illustrated some of Kafka's works too.
