The Book of Genesis - R. Crumb

Worth a look.  Some fabulous black and white drawings - the faces are wonderful.  Also less dry than reading just the words, which he has remained faithful to.
He has some interesting commentary at the back giving some background on the life and times and looks at some of the more confusing aspects of the genesis story, particularly the role of women in society in a pre-patriarchal society and how it might be showing up as last remnants in the Genesis story.
