Första Moseboken, Genesis illustrerad av Robert Crumb

Robert Crumb's singularly obsessive adaptation of the Book of Genesis, published by Kartago förlag in 2009, presents the entire biblical text as a faithfully illustrated graphic novel. Crumb, the most frequent artist of this single-issue series, renders every chapter—from Adam and Eve to the story of Joseph—with his meticulous crosshatching and unflinching, earthy detail, refusing to sanitize or sensationalize the source material. This standalone work matters as a landmark of literary comics, demonstrating how a master cartoonist can bring a foundational, ancient text to vivid, uncompromising visual life.
