You may be familiar with Robert Crumb’s irreverent comics. He created Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, Angelfood McSpade and the “Keep on Truckin’” logos.

Well, R. Crumb has just completed a new project: Genesis, the first book of the Bible. He has included all the nudity, sex, violence, gore and incest that’s in the text. Nothing has been left out — not even the weird, kinky stuff they skipped over in Sunday school.

The art exhibit, “The Bible Illuminated: R. Crumb’s Book of Genesis” opens Saturday at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. And the illustrated text, “The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb,” has just been published by W.W. Norton & Company.

Read a feature on the newest Biblical art and book by R. Crumb.
