For these detractors, Crumb's Genesis Illustrated lacks the transgressive, rebellious qualities of his earlier comics. Contrary to this view, this essay uses Crumb's storytelling involving Sarah to demonstrate how Crumb noticeably subverts Genesis's androcentrism by adopting a feminist hermeneutics of suspicion that reveals a waning matriarchal priestess tradition implicit in the text and helps explain the confounding wife-sister and barren-mother motifs in Sarah's story.
