Ok, I admit it, I have a grudge against Panter. I met him recently & gave him a movie of mine & a record or 2 & he sd he'd send me something in trade & didn't. Asshole. Other than that.. well, he's just a fairly conventional visual artist. Still, I've enjoyed his work & these comics are among the things I've enjoyed the most. Published by RAW back in the days before larger publishers picked up their material & published larger editions, this is pretty special. It's "RAW ONE-SHOT #1" & it's oversize in that original RAW way as well as bound w/ cardboard. A nice production.… (més)

I already gave Panter a positive review for "Jimbo". I reckon this is the sequel. It wd appear that the RAW publishers (deservedly) had more money by now. This has a little color in it & it's thicker than the earlier one. All in all, I'd say that Panter's graphic sense is even more.. GRAPHIC here. One cd say he outdid himself. Different levels of drawing detail on the same page help keep things lively. If you like drawing (wch most of the time I don't actually care that much about but I make an exception here) this is for you. C. Carr of the Village Voice sums it up nicely in a promo blurb on the back:

"If punk America-style was like a baby dropped in a shopping mall at birth and left to grow up as best it could - Jimbo's been there, innocent and outraged."

songy's down-to-earth comebacks to satan were funny, and the art work was super detailed and interesting - i liked the giant format of the publication. more physical presence gave more emotional heft to a very short and simple re-imagining of paradise regained. i just felt uncomfortable the whole way through, like watching felix the cat or weird 90's cartoons.

Jimbo’s Inferno charted the journey of Gary Panter’s eponymous hero through the hellscape of the modern mall. Jimbo in Purgatory continues with Jimbo and Valise, his parole robot, this time traveling through a Purgatory re-imagined as an “infotainment testing facility.” Panter opens the volume with a short introduction on the life and times of Dante. He lays out Dante’s literary legacy, since the Divine Comedy directly influenced Geoffrey Chaucer, Giovanni Boccaccio, and James Joyce.

The book is a scant thirty-three pages and measures even larger than Jimbo’s Inferno, but the cover retaining Inferno’s faux Klimtian gilt highlights. Jimbo and Valise travel and encounter various pop cultural icons as they quote excerpts from Dante, Boccaccio, Joyce, dirty limericks, and numerous other sources. The sources are referenced at the bottom of each page, but are unnumbered, adding a challenge to interpretation. Dante’s Purgatory begins with Dante and Vergil meeting Cato. Panter has Jimbo and Valise meeting Cato Fong, Inspector Clouseau’s houseboy and martial arts expert. Jimbo and Valise also converse with the disembodied head of the Westworld character played by Yul Brynner. At the end of Dante’s tour of Purgatory, he finally meets his long lost love, the luminous Beatrice, the personification of beauty and innocence, a terrestrial counterpart to the Virgin Mary within Catholic doctrine. Within the subversive grammar of Panter’s vision, Beatrice is portrayed as Twiggy (real name: Lesley Hornby). Twiggy fame and notoriety originated in her thinness as a fashion model.

Throughout the book, Panter maintains a rigid almost mannerist division of panels. On some pages, the narrative moves forward. On others, the panels split up a massive picture. The division of images and architectural design harkens back to another monument of Christian doctrine, the Sistine Chapel, itself an innovative amalgamation of Christian and Greco-Roman classical imagery.

The volume ends like Jimbo’s Inferno: with a list of thirty-three albums that Gary Panter fancied, from the well-known (Electric Ladyland, The Jimi Hendrix Experience) to the rare (Science Fiction, Ornette Coleman) to the just plain odd (Music for Robots, Forrest J. Ackerman). Using the grammar of pop culture and sampling the Western Canon like an encyclopedic DJ, Panter spins an epic journey. A hallucination and a dream that plays like a labyrinthine knock-knock joke.

This review is part of a blog post examining how different artists depict Hell:
