In a similar vein, famed cartoonist R Crumb did a faithful adaptation of the book of Genesis, including all the sex and violence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Genesis_(comics)

Lol

The book has been controversial, particularly for the explicit illustrations of sexual intercourse described in the text itself. In critical circles, it has drawn fire over whether and how literal the illustration job is, or should be.

It’s fine as a holy book that we should all treat as the literal word of god, but don’t you dare draw those raunchy sex scenes from my holy book
