An illustrated version of the Book of Genesis, by R. Crumb, is available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
An excerpt from a recent article about Crumb in The New Yorker:
"At first, he thought about doing a take-off of the story of Adam and Eve, and then a friend suggested he do the whole of Genesis. Crumb accepted the challenge, but the text seemed to him so bizarre that he quickly realized he couldn't sustain a satirical approach. He resolved to use the words of the Bible unabridged: "I did it as a straight illustration job."
