The Book Of Genesis

BY R CRUMB

Brief Description:
Envisioning the first book of the Bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. "It's a cartoonist's equivalent of the Sistine Chapel. It's awesome. Crumb has done a real artist's turn here-he's challenged himself and defied all expectation. . . . I've read Genesis before. But never have I found it so compelling. By placing it squarely in the Middle East-and populating it with distinctively Semitic-looking people-Crumb makes it come alive brilliantly." - Susan Jane Gillman, NPR Suggested Retail $24.95
