Hi Rachel, He hasn't done any more books of the bible, but The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb is really something.

To replace it, with something I found that is a newer (1998) edition of the same book, but I worry about Christian content, and thought it might be nice to find something more updated. Can anyone recommend a torah or tanach for teens and/or older kids in comic or graphic format that would be acceptable in a Conservative synagogue library? What I've found doesn't quite hit the mark. For instance, The Brick Bible: A New Spin on the Old Testament (Brick Bible Presents) by Brendan Powell Smith<https://smile.amazon.com/Brendan-Powell-Smith/e/B001K7RTV0/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1> , though cute, depicts God as an old man with a beard. We could make it fly, but I'm wary theologically. https://smile.amazon.com/Brick-Bible-Spin-Testament-Presents/dp/1616084219/ref=pd_sbs_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BQDAE2W4YNRFY98PP98F The Comic Torah: Reimagining the Very Good Book by Aaron Freeman<https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=Aaron+Freeman&search-alias=books&field-author=Aaron+Freeman&sort=relevancerank> (Author), Sharon Rosenzweig<https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2?ie=UTF8&text=Sharon+Rosenzweig&search-alias=books&field-author=Sharon+Rosenzweig&sort=relevancerank> (Illustrator), is way too irreverent, and kind of icky. https://smile.amazon.com/Comic-Torah-Reimagining-Very-Good/dp/193473053X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1490284331&sr=8-2&keywords=comic+strip+torah Any thoughts?
