About this Collection

This standalone graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly collects the complete 2016 work by cartoonist Chester Brown. It offers a provocative, illustrated retelling of biblical stories centered on prostitution, drawing from multiple translations of the Bible and historical commentaries to explore themes of sin, redemption, and the role of sex workers in scripture. Brown's stark, minimalist artwork accompanies his unconventional interpretations, making this a challenging and thoughtful addition to his body of work on religion and morality.

"Cain and Abel" is a stark, deeply human retelling from Chester Brown’s Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus, where the story of Tamar unfolds with quiet intensity. Brown’s precise, expressive art and unflinching narration bring emotional weight to her desperate attempt to secure her future in a world governed by duty and silence. The cover, also by Brown, mirrors the story’s somber tone with its restrained, hand-drawn power.
