R. Crumb, "The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb, Chapter 1"
Classic comic artist R. Crumb spent the past five years illustrating every word of the book of Genesis, which has since been released in book form.
The Bible Illuminated: R. Crumb's Book of Genesis presents all 207 individual black-and-white drawings incorporating every word from all 50 chapters of Genesis. "Illustrated in his signature bawdy style, Crumb's version puts an entirely new twist on the Bible."
