The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb
Robert Crumb illustrator. Norton, 2009. From Creation to the death of Joseph, here are all 50 chapters of the Book of Genesis, revealingly illustrated as never before. Envisioning the first book of the Bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Originally thinking that he would do a take off of Adam and Eve, Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible's language, “a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions”, that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James Bible.

Now, Crumb fans, comic book lovers, and believers, can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, tragic, and even juicy stories. Crumb's Book of Genesis reintroduces us to the bountiful tree-lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire, and the Egypt of the Pharaoh, where Joseph's embalmed body is carried in a coffin, in a scene as elegiac as any in Genesis. Using clues from the text and peeling away theological and scholarly interpretations that have often obscured the Bible's most dramatic stories, Crumb fleshes out a parade of Biblical originals: from the serpent in Eden, the humanoid reptile appearing like an alien out of a science fiction movie, to Jacob, a “kind've depressed guy who doesn't strike you as physically courageous”, and his bother, Esau, “a rough and kick ass guy”, to Abraham's wife Sarah, more fetching than most woman at 90, to God himself, “a standard Charlton Heston-like figure with long white hair and a flowing beard”.

As Crumb writes in his introduction, “the stories of these people, the Hebrews, were something more than just stories. They were the foundation, the source, in writing of religious and political power, handed down by God himself.” Crumb's Book of Genesis, the culmination of 5 years of painstaking work, is a tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling which celebrates the astonishing diversity of the one of our greatest artistic geniuses. 224 pages. Hard Cover Black & White 9" x 11" (229mm x 279mm) (ISBN-13: 9780393061024)

R. Crumb's Sex Obsessions (Signed) (Limited Edition)
Robert Crumb, Edited by Dian Hanson. Taschen, 2007. This book contains Robert Crumb's personal selection of his most secret fantasies, re-coloured by hand just for this volume. They have little to do with the standard procreative urge, Mr. Crumb admits. He has also said he finds nothing more boring than someone else's sexual obsessions, and yet through his long career the world's most famous underground cartoonist has felt compelled to include his own sex fantasies in his art. He explains it as a compulsive catharsis, while fans call R. Crumb's erotic fantasies the Master at his best.

Now Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single page drawings to create a 258 page encyclopaedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between 1980 and 2006, and all strips are hand-coloured for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books. In total the book features 14 complete stories, including My Troubles With Women, If I Were a King, A Bitchin' Bod, and How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl, as well as 60 single page drawings.

The artist admits it's a little scary to see his most fevered obsessions collected end to end like this, but fans will find Robert Crumb's Sex Obsessions a fascinating peek inside an often tortured, always brilliantly talented mind, as well as an unparalleled collector's item.

This signed limited edition of 1,000 copies is a work of art in itself, with every part of the book—front and back covers, spine, and introductory pages—created for this project by Robert Crumb. Each book is in its slipcase and also comes with an art print selected by Crumb. (Only 500 copies were made available outside the USA of this sought-after collector's item.) 258 pages. Hard Cover Full Colour 8" x 11" (203mm x 274mm) (ISBN-13: 9783822825402)
SIGNED LIMITED EDITION of 1000 copies worldwide, complete in slipcase and with Crumb art print.

The R. Crumb Handbook (Boxed Edition) (Signed) (Limited Edition)
CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski. MQ Publications, 2005. The R.Crumb Handbook tells the story of how a schmuck became a cultural icon, and is more than just another celebrity tell-all sexploitation. This brand new hardback collection of original cartoons - with never-before-published work - takes the reader on a unique journey through the life and times of one of the 20th century's most notorious and influential counter culture artists.
