The Book of Genesis Illustrated

The Book of Genesis Illustrated (2009) by R. Crumb. The famous counter-cultural comic book artist R. Crumb takes a stab at the first book of the Bible, with surprisingly illuminating results. Crumb has done extensive research and put a lot of care into trying to make these illustrations as true to the text of Genesis as possible. He also contributes a Commentary at the end which further explains the choices he has made in his drawings. It was the first time I ever read Genesis from beginning to end, and I found it very rewarding. Grade: A
