Mignola has expanded Hellboy into the most exciting group of books since the early Marvel universe, and his style has influenced art and illustration far beyond the world of comics. Selected finished pieces are shown alongside sketches and raw scans from the last twenty years. Never-before-seen art! Mignola's best pieces from the last twenty years! "Nothing is better than having Mignola himself rendering Hellboy's world." - IGN "I envy the sheer variety and invention Mignola brings to Hellboy's world. [He] consistently manages to depict even the most grotesque monstrosity and make it somehow beautiful." - Peter de Sève, award-winning New Yorker cover artist and character designer for Ice Age film series, from his introduction

Here they are, Witchblade, Darkness, and Magdalena, together again for the very first time. This time, however, their adventures occur in an "animated" -style universe. The story suffers from an identity crisis. For whom is this intended? It looks like a kids' comic, but is that the target audience? For starters, it's a little too violent. Nobody gets killed in Archie. Even comics such as Justice League Adventures don't usually start with murders and contain exposition on medieval torture. This comic book, however, does. Additionally, it's cynical and irreverent when it comes to religion. It doesn't have to be a Christian comic book, but, if it's aimed at kids, it should at least be respectful. And haven't we seen enough evil priests already? It's become a cliché on a par with "the butler did it." If it's not appropriate for kids, then it must be for adults. If so, then it's like umpteen other stories we have already read in Magdalena, Warrior Nun Areala, Vampirella, and elsewhere. The comic book would probably be best appreciated by regular Witchblade fans who may be enchanted by the novelty of the "animated" art and by teens who haven't read the same plot those umpteen other times. It's not clear whether it's truly aimed at younger children, but there is material in it that parents might find objectionable.

The punk art legend sends his best-loved character into Dante's Inferno.
"Don't try to pass a pop quiz on Dante's Hell based on a reading of this comic," warns Gary Panter. "It won't work. Even though the comic is engorged with Dante's Hell and though Jimbo mouths a super-condensed version of what happens in The Inferno, canto by canto, characters are fused, actions inverted, parodied, subject to mutation by my odd memories and obsessions and whims…"
That said, Jimbo's Inferno is the hugely anticipated sequel (or prequel, as it was actually completed first) to Jimbo In Purgatory. In this oversize hardcover cloth-and-gold-finished volume, produced to the same exacting standards as 2004's Purgatory, Jimbo, accompanied by his trusty guide and ride Valise, visits Hell (here envisioned as a gigantic subterranean shopping mall called Focky Bocky), and in so doing runs across minotaurs, drug-addled punkettes, UFOs, giant robots, and more, leading him to such profound questions as, "Why do so many recreational activities involve smoke and heat?"
Panter's wild Albrecht-Dürer-meets-Jack-Kirby graphics are wilder and more hallucinatory than ever, and given the full, expansive treatment they so richly deserve. Black-and-white comics throughout

The founder of "Punk" art reinvents Dante through his character Jimbo in this landmark graphic novel.
Gary Panter has been one of America's pre-eminent designers and cartoonists of the last quarter century: In addition to being a prolific and sought-after illustrator, he was one of the graphic minds behind the award-winning Pee-wee's Playhouse show, and, as the creator of Jimbo, one of the pillars of the legendary RAW magazine. Panter's early graphics defined the California punk ethos and the alternative zine scene—and although he hasn't achieved the notoriety of Keith Haring or Kenny Scharf, the post-Pop painting world is also deeply in his debt. Now, Fantagraphics is proud to present a major, all-new book by Panter: Jimbo in Purgatory.
In this spectacular graphic novel, Panter has transformed his protean punk hero Jimbo into the protagonist of a reinterpretation of Dante's Purgatorio. After years of comparing Dante and Boccaccio to find commonalities between the two, Panter developed a narrative of his own that includes literary and pop references regularly injected throughout the captions of the reinterpreted cantos.
In Panter's adaptation, Jimbo traverses a vast infotainment-testing center built in the shape of Dante's Mount Purgatory. Within its borders every man or robot stands in for a character in the Divine Comedy. In this version all the participants in the drama must respond to one another within a lunatic logic wherein each quotes a literary fragment that demonstrates their respective knowledge of a particular passage and its import to the specific location in a poem.
