This is an original topic by jfgslo from GO NAGAI, GO!

Comparison between Doré and Nagai:

Probably one of the visual master work of Nagai.
Doré is a inspiration for Nagai when he create Mao Dante and Devilman, it's a kind of homage with this manga adaptation.

Years ago i try to read the Divine Comedy but it's really hard to keep attention when you read old symbolic and philosophic poems.
I'm a big fan of the videogame Dante inferno (PS3 and XBox 360) and it's a good compromise to see and understand this story.

But with this Nagai manga i think is more easy because we have beautiful images and dialogue adaptation to fit in the manga structure.

I'm a big fan of works from Gustave Doré, i have a book with Lafontaine legends and one with the Divine comedy vision.

You can read an english translation of this manga, we have a link to read online, i recommended.

So two great masters for a vision of a classic literature.
