Quick Summary

The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb is a graphic novel by American counterculture artist R. Crumb. Initially conceived as a parody of the biblical book of Genesis, Crumb ultimately chose to adhere closely to the literal text of the first book of the Bible to create his interpretation.1

The book of Genesis itself is the first book of the Bible, narrating the creation of the world and the early history of the Israelite people. It includes well-known stories such as the Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.23
