Het Boek Genesis

Robert Crumb’s meticulous, word-for-word adaptation of the Book of Genesis, published in the Netherlands by De Harmonie, Oog & Blik, and Vrijdag, is a landmark labor of love that began in 2009 and remains ongoing. Crumb, the legendary underground cartoonist, serves as both writer and artist, bringing his singular, expressive linework to the ancient text with scholarly fidelity and unflinching visual storytelling. This single-issue series matters as a profound, personal interpretation of a foundational narrative, rendered by one of comics’ most influential and iconoclastic creators.
