How is The Divine Comedy relevant today? What was its mark on the history of art and on our imagination of hell? Dante, A Divine Comedy, by Ellen Wetmore (writing and images) and Jiba Moleil Anderson (letters, development, and editing) is distinct from its medieval namesake, is graphic novel built on American constructs of race and of academia.
