Inspired by The Novel of Nonel and Vovel, the Inferno takes the form of a graphic triptych and inscribes itself in a tradition normally associated with a less secular type of superhero.
With its combination of a superhero theme and an abundance of absurd, tragic, humorous and violent details inspired by life in occupied Palestine, the triptych is a intense comment on a Middle East reality that is more surreal than the work itself.
