R. Crumb Tackles The Bible


R. Crumb is the king of underground comics. He founded the Underground Comix movement and has been it's most important figure. His characters like the Devil Girl and Fritz The Cat are icons of the lowbrow art movement. Now Crumb is taking on what might his biggest challenge yet, The Bible. More specifically the first book of the Bible Genesis, all 50 chapters of it. His adaptation is taken word for word from the book with his illustrations added. It also comes with a warning: ‘Adult Supervision Recommended for Minors.’
