Dante's Inferno #1

Hunt Emerson and Kevin Jackson bring Dante's medieval descent into the underworld to vivid, irreverent life in this Knockabout adaptation. The cover sets the tone perfectly: two anxious-looking figures — Dante in his green robe and red cap, and a toga-clad companion — sit squeezed between roaring columns of flame, while a raucous crowd of demons, monsters, and pink creatures jeers and cavorts in the fiery cavern behind them. Emerson's signature cartooning style turns one of literature's most daunting poems into something genuinely fun to look at, balancing the hellish atmosphere with warmth and wit.
