This edition of The Monkey Wrench Gang includes a dozen full-page illustrations and thirty chapter head illustrations by legendary sixties underground comix and American icon, Robert Crumb. Colorful R. Crumb dust jacket. Full-page photograph of Edward Abbey and R. Crumb in Arches National Park.
The late great Edward Abbey published twenty-one books during his lifetime (two posthumously). Both The Monkey Wrench Gang and Desert Solitaire have gone on to become what the author always dreaded - "classics" - and have now sold well over one million copies each. 2025 is the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Monkey Wrench Gang, and the fortieth anniversary of when Ken Sanders first commissioned Robert Crumb to illustrate Abbey's masterpiece.
Watch for our limited 50th Anniversary edition "BOX" of The Monkey Wrench Gang, which will contain limited portraits of Abbey & Crumb by R. Crumb's daughter, Sophie Crumb, an unknown portrait of Abbey by Ralph Steadman, a painting of Ed Abbey by Trent Call, writings about Abbey by two of his children, Joshua & Susannah Abbey, R. Crumb stickers, writings by Ken Sanders, rare photographs of the real Monkey Wrench Gang, Earth First!, and much more.
