| Abstract |
|
Comics used to be the standard example of pulp and popular culture. At the same time there was always a tendency to wrap classics in cheap and easily readable comic paper aimed at the younger or less-educated market. Meanwhile comics take in different forms of literary genres, like comic and graphic novels, which join high and low elements and question simplistic classification. Comics based on Dante and his Commedia show two main tendencies. One would be the simplification of the complex work for literary beginners. The other would be a subtle reflection of and challenging response to that complexity through specific features of graphic and pictorial media. The latter tendency demonstrates the potential of pictorial and figurative expression at an appropriate level of literary verbalization. A close look at some Dante-comics will demonstrate the vital prospects of visual and figurative narration between literary tradition and new approaches.
