The famous comic artist has been laboring over a comic retelling of Genesis for ages, and it’s apparently coming in 2009. Everywhere I’ve seen this mentioned on the web, people use the word “literal” to describe it, as in “it’s a literal adaptation!” I have no idea what that could possibly mean in this case, but if it’s that he simply draws the events of Genesis as they occur in the pages of Genesis…well, why wouldn’t he? Genesis is freaky, beautiful, crazy, hysterical, awesome, wild, R-Rated stuff. It doesn’t exactly need R. Crumb to give it intrigue, whatever your flannel-graph memories tell you.
