Why read it?
1 author picked Dante's Divine Comedy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
First I want to say how much I love The Divine Comedy Dante’s Inferno and this graphic novel adaptation by Seymour Chwast is a wonderful version of the tale. If you don’t already know the story I highly suggest you read it in its original text but also be sure to grab this copy as it will really bring the levels of hell to a more comical light. I particularly love the black and white bold art style and humor brought to life here.
From Vince's list on The best graphic memoirs with creativity and flair.
