Robert Crumb's comic book of Genesis is kind of cool.
The artist, Robert Crumb, is famous for his satirical and some might say genuinely perverse humor and art as seen in many underground and above ground comics. So it may come as a surprise that he has done a serious comic book version of Genesis, and it's pretty good.
It took him five years to adapt in art, all 50 chapters. His painstaking research never intrudes on the delights of the reading experience. It maybe his "Sistine Chapel comic.
For humanity and pathos, Adam and Eve, all the stories of Genesis and a great look at God, Robert Crumb's Genesis deserves a place on your coffee table and book shelf.
