Jimbo in Purgatory

In Jimbo in Purgatory, Gary Panter—the visionary artist behind the Jimbo series—delivers a single-issue comic from Fantagraphics (2004–present) that plunges his punk-surrealist everyman into a wild, Dante-inspired underworld. The book is a dense, expressionistic fever dream of densely packed panels and raw linework, showcasing Panter’s singular ability to blend high-art chaos with underground comix energy. As a standalone entry in the long-running Jimbo saga, it stands as a key artifact of Panter’s influence on alternative comics and a testament to his unclassifiable, decades-spanning vision.
