I became interested in this book because George Lucas of Star Wars fame bought the original art. It will become part of his new, yet to be built, billion-dollar, Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. Be forewarned that Robert Crumb isn't a Christian, but an atheist so his depiction of Genesis may be life-like, but not one of sacredness. He is a good illustrator in my opinion based on his comic book and graphic novel art (His comics are usually pornographic albeit popular in underground circles; Maybe he's becoming more mainstream.). It's interesting that he plays this one straight or else I would not have bought it. However, his text descriptions disavows the story so be forewarned.
