SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 Jamin Brophy-Warren The influential comics artist Robert Crumb, best known for such outré works as "Keep On Truckin' " and "Fritz the Cat," is exploring a surprising new topic in his latest work: the Bible. For "The Book of Genesis Illustrated," Mr. Crumb incorporated a variety of sources, including the King James Version, to re-create the Bible's first book. Mr. Crumb, who lives in the south of France with his wife and daughter, was the subject of the 1994 documentary "Crumb." He was largely responsible for the "underground comix" movement of the 1960s that set the stage for many of the comics' greatest contemporary works, such as Art Spiegelman's "Maus." At left, an excerpt from "The Book of Genesis Illustrated."
