A fine copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reference Bible bound for a different congregation. Crumb assembled this small leather-bound volume of his most explicit underground comics — work drawn from \u003cem\u003eSnatch\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJiz\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eZap\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eXYZ\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBig Ass\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUneeda\u003c\/em\u003e — and Futuropolis printed it in Paris in a thousand numbered copies, designed to look like a pocket Bible. It was never distributed in the United States; the graphic sexual content kept it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrumb is the central figure of San Francisco underground comics — \u003cem\u003eZap\u003c\/em\u003e, Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat, Keep on Truckin' — and \u003cem\u003eBible of Filth\u003c\/em\u003e gathers his sexual material in a single volume produced for a European audience. Three decades on, an expanded English-language edition was published by David Zwirner Books in 2017, but the 1986 Futuropolis printing remains the trophy: small, leather-bound, numbered, ribbon-marked, and physically indistinguishable from any other Bible on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e TO-2026-065\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crumb, R.","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":46459952627873,"sku":"TO-2026-065","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7001\/0785\/files\/TO-2026-065_01.jpg?v=1783744774","url":"https:\/\/twoorangesbooks.com\/products\/to-2026-065","provider":"Two Oranges Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
