La divine comédie #3

Go Nagai's manga retelling of Dante's Divine Comedy reaches its third volume, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a stern, hooded figure rendered in stark black-and-white stares out with an intensity that feels almost medieval, the deep crimson title lettering the only splash of color against the austere grey. Nagai's signature bold linework gives the figure a gravitas that feels entirely fitting for a journey through the realms beyond. Published by Black Box Éditions in 2015 as part of their Collection Go Nagai, this volume is a compelling addition to one of manga's more ambitious literary adaptations.
