The stories of R. Crumb's most popular character, the white-bearded
sage-cure-charlatan, Mr. Natural, are collected into one place with
this volume. Covering his earlier, more whimsical appearances from
the early '70s through his more controversial strips from the '90s
(as seen in the Crumb documentary), it's all here.
For over three decades R. Crumb has shocked, entertained,
titillated and challenged the imaginations (and the inhibitions) of
comics fans the world over. The acknowledged father of "underground
comix," Crumb is the single greatest influence on the alternative
comics of today. The three companion sets of trading cards - Heroes
of the Blues, Early Jazz Greats, and Pioneers of Country Music -
have all been sought by collectors. Although, they were rereleased
in print as individual card sets, this is the first time they are
being published together in book form. A biography of each musician
is provided, along with a full colour original illustration by
underground cartoonist and music historian R. Crumb.

Envisioning the first book of the Bible like no one before him, R.
Crumb, the legendary illustrator, retells the story of Genesis in a
profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Now, readers of every
persuasion can gain astonishing new insights from these 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. Using clues from the text
and peeling away the 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 of depressed guy who doesn't
strike you as physically courageous', and his bother, Esau, 'a
rough and kick-ass guy', to God himself, 'a standard Charlton
Heston-like figure with long white hair and a flowing beard'.
Crumb's Book of Genesis, the culmination of five years of
painstaking work, is a tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling
that celebrates the astonishing diversity of one of our greatest
artistic geniuses.
