Jimbo's Inferno

In Jimbo's Inferno, cartoonist Gary Panter reimagines Dante's Inferno through the punk-surreal lens of his signature character, Jimbo, a spiky-haired everyman navigating a chaotic, post-apocalyptic underworld. Published by Fantagraphics in 2006, this single-issue graphic novel distills Panter's raw, jagged linework and dense, hallucinatory visual storytelling into a modern, lowbrow epic. A landmark of underground comics, it merges literary ambition with the anarchic energy of the 1980s East Village art scene.
