This eagerly awaited graphic work retells the first book of the Bible in a profoundly honest way.

Now, readers of every persuasion Crumb fans, comic book lovers, history buffs, and believers can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, visceral, and even juicy stories. Crumb's The Book of Genesis reintroduces readers to Adam and Eve's Eden, Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Pharaoh's Egypt.
