When I read that Robert Crumb was drawing the Genesis (the Bible) I thought that the consumption of psychotropic substances throughout his long life had caused, as warned his detractors a mental decline.
And when he mentioned his desire to be as scrupulous as possible to the original. And he spent a long time. And his obsession with details ...
After reading the comic I had the revelation this is the format where you actually have to read.
The mighty god but stingy with his own work, the human protagonists blinded, without qualification, predestined, the strange mix of stories between the poetic and pornographic, the absurdity of data (genealogies, kinship ...) .
Drawing Crumb powerful and sensual displays a sea of \u200b\u200bmythologies that later gave substance to a few monotheistic religions.
If
this is the format where the children should know the Bible.
