Crumb’s thirteenth limited edition with Wildwood Serigraphs, Arcade #2 is perhaps our best edition technically speaking. It’s a 28 color (with 5 blends) beautiful edition which your computer can not do justice! Oh well, at least you get a good idea of what it looks like, but wait until you see it with your own eyes — we guarantee you will be MORE than ecstatic and satisfied or your money back.... Only 120 prints in the edition, with a beautiful Certificate of Authenticity which Robert wrote as only he can.

This is Robert's original Arcade #2 cover, 1975. His new rendition of the cover (the addition of the alligator at the bottom of the print) in our edition subtly transforms the illustration for me.

In the original cover, we're almost forced to sympathize with the bunnies, and the alligator girl seems menacing and sadistic. But with the inclusion of the other alligator, who is just hanging out and wallowing in the water, we're now forced to identify with the alligators too. That's what alligators do — they wallow in water and they eat animals to live.

It's nothing personal, little bunny. She's not a bad alligator,she has to live too, doesn't she?

This is the quintessential Crumb illustration: his love for the beauty of nature; his hatred for the savagery, cruelty and lawlessness of nature as well; his desire to shock his audience; his love for the round, strong, imposing (almost frightening) female figure.

It's all here folks!
