Art Young's Inferno

Art Young's Inferno, published by Fantagraphics in 2020, is a single-issue comic that resurrects the satirical, politically charged work of early 20th-century cartoonist Art Young. This volume collects his classic, Dante-inspired series of cartoons, originally published in the 1920s and '30s, which used allegorical hellscapes to skewer capitalism, war, and social injustice. As a showcase of Young's sharp, pre-Code editorial art, it preserves a vital piece of American cartooning history.
