Arcade expands from 44 to 52 pages for third issue, which gives more room for even more contributiors. Arcade #3 leads off with Robert Crumb paying homage to jug bands and
depression-era blues, which is not my cup of tea, but you can't blame Crumb for utilizing his talents on his passions. "Classics Crucified" (Justin
Green) takes on "Crime and Punishment," which about as
exciting as George Kuchar's biography, "H.P. Lovecraft" (neither is riveting).
On the plus side, Robert Armstrong's "Mickey Rat" is pretty good and Willy Murphy keeps lightening the mood with his usually funny "Arnold Peck the Human Wreck."
Charles Bukowski
also contributes some fine short fiction with "Bop Bop Against That Curtain" (with spot
illustrations by R. Crumb).
