When I was little, I had a comic book which told the tales of the Bible.
Now I see there's a new book out, THE BOOK OF GENESIS Illustrated by R. Crumb reviewed in the NYTimes where they published this example:
Anyone recall that first 1950s comics book treatment of the Bible?

Can't say as I do. But if you remember the Keep On Truckin' bears from the Grateful Dead or the first XXX rated full length cartoon feature, Fritz the Cat (complete with a shul davening scene) you have familiarity with R. Crumb's work.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
