Iron Circus Comics The Harrowing of Hell
Book Synopsis"Deeply personal and full of profound ambiguity." — A.V. CLUB “Grapples with the revolutionary humility of Christ’s message.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “Jesus of Nazareth . . . art thou come to destroy us?” Over the thousands of years since Christ’s Crucifixion, the original gospels detailing his life and death have been edited, sanded down, and molded into the tale millions of people know by heart today. But what if that first fevered, dreamlike writing about this moment of profound historical upheaval were to be resurrected itself, brought back to life in a haunting fable for our modern age? In THE HARROWING OF HELL, Evan Dahm draws upon a wide array of texts both ancient and modern, religious and historical, to create a brand new window into the life and death of Christ, a vision of a dying man’s revolutionary drive and fervent belief in humanity’s salvation from all manner of jailers. Discarding the heroic, demon-smiting Christ that has taken hold in the popular imagination, this story gives us a peaceable and contemplative Christ, defiantly at odds with the ancient and modern desires of His flock. A richly symbolic, densely illustrated allegorical tale that echoes back to us from ancient times, THE HARROWING OF HELL is a fascinating reinterpretation of one of the most important religious figures in history, before He was the god of the wealthy and powerful, before He was recast as the warrior worshipers preferred.Trade Review“Not a simple Sunday school retelling of scripture, Dahm’s ambitious graphic novel grapples with the revolutionary humility of Christ’s message, envisioning the cost of fighting evil with nonviolence and compassion.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “Boldly presents Jesus’s trip freeing souls between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, employing black, white, and red to dramatize the event.” — LIBRARY JOURNAL "Deeply personal and full of profound ambiguity." — A.V. CLUB “Recaptures the moody, mystical, and mythological aspects that have been long lost in Christianity, with riveting imagery that accompanied the tales.” — COMICS BEAT "A very dark graphic novel that, while still religiously based, is sure to appeal to horror readers." — CEMETERY DANCE
