Who is Abraham?

Few characters in comics carry quite the weight of history that Abraham does — the ancient patriarch brought to vivid, irreverent life in Kim Deitch's 1987 Knockabout publication Outrageous Tales from the Old Testament, a Copper Age curio that dared to drag scripture into the underground comics tradition. Sharing pages with towering figures like Moses, God, Lot, and Eve, Abraham appears across a span of publications stretching into the 2010s, from the provocative anthology that introduced him to more straightforward adaptations like The Action Bible and The Bible. It's a small but genuinely fascinating catalog footprint for one of humanity's oldest storytelling subjects — proof that comics have never stopped wrestling with the biggest stories ever told.
