The Rocket Book, Peter Newell, 1912:
Hey, ok, I am working on a new book.
The Harrowing of Hell is a graphic novel being published by Iron Circus Comics. It’s a “deconstructive” adaptation of the Christian mythological story of Christ’s descent into Hell, heavily prioritizing the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus, and the Gospel According to Mark: mostly agreed-upon to be the earliest canonical account of Jesus’ life, and a piece of literature and philosophy that I really love.
I am obsessed with this project in a way I haven’t been with anything in a while. I think it will be good and surprising and probably difficult. I’ll be pretty consistently noisy here and twitter and elsewhere throughout the process. I hope you like it.
