Alas, Genesis Through R. Crumb

With rave reviews from the Jewish and extended religious communities, the mainstream media and his loyal fans alike, R. Crumb’s new work of genius The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb was released this week, after it consumed five years of the man’s life.

Yes, R. Crumb is back. After 18 years of living a quiet life in France, the gentle nerd and revolutionary visual artist who forever altered the landscape of cartoon style and content has gifted us with a raw yet honest depiction of one of the most powerful books to have ever graced and bedeviled the earth. And he quotes the Bible in its entirety word for word. Let us bask in Crumb again, and this time we turn to God.
