"The Book of Genesis" by Robert Crumb is a graphic novel adaptation of the biblical Book of Genesis. Published in 2009, it faithfully illustrates all fifty chapters of Genesis, presenting stories such as creation, Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, and the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Crumb's artwork provides a straightforward retelling without interpretation or commentary, capturing the complexities and contradictions of the biblical text. The graphic novel covers key events, including the fall of Adam and Eve, the flood, the covenant with Abraham, the stories of Isaac and Jacob, and the saga of Joseph in Egypt. The narrative concludes with Jacob's deathbed scene, where he foretells the futures of his children and requests that they bring his bones if guided out of the country by God.
