...Crumb is the first to adapt the Bible in this way. There have long been comic-book versions of the Bible for children. Penthouse once serialized a graphic version of Genesis, which formed the basis for the book Bible: Eden, by Scott Hampton and Keith Giffen. There's a Manga Bible and one illustrated by renowned Mad magazine cartoonists Basil Wolverton. But perhaps because of the strange alchemy of the pairing, Crumb's Genesis has attracted more mainstream media attention than most graphic novels or reissued books of the Bible normally do, with an excerpt in the New Yorker...

Twenty-one years ago, Frears, Hampton and Pfeiffer got together for another bedroom drama set in France. Dangerous Liaisons raised the former Grease 2 star from the ranks of the extremely pretty people who make movies into the category of highly respectable Oscar-nominated actress. It was a smart career move for a 30-year-old woman. Chéri is the smart move of a 51-year-old actress, and that is a radically different thing...
