Cinema Purgatório

In Cinema Purgatório, a 2018–2020 six-issue series from Panini Brasil, the creative team (including artist Mateus Santolouco, known for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) blends horror, dark comedy, and retro cinema aesthetics into a Brazilian indie gem. The story follows a washed-up actor trapped in a bizarre, purgatorial movie theater where every screening is a twisted trial of his past sins and failures. This cult-favorite limited series stands out for its inventive fusion of film history and supernatural dread, offering a love letter to cinema that’s as unsettling as it is playful.
