Dave Itzkoff at nytimes.com reports that Robert Crumb has completed his graphic
novel adaptation of the first book in the Bible. Called Robert Crumb’s Book of Genesis, it was four years in the making.
Scheduled for release October 19, the volume is “very visual,” said Crumb in The Guardian: “It's lurid. Full of all
kinds of crazy, weird things that will really surprise people." An 11-page
preview can be found in the June 8-15 issue of The New Yorker.
Crumb's illustrations of Genesis are spectacular - detailed, period relevant, and extraordinary given the volume of images required to complete the book.
Crumb's older work can be seen, and ordered as t-shirts, on Keep On Truckin' Apparel.
