Cinema Purgatorio #12 (Avatar Comics, 2017)

The boundary-pushing anthology reaches another unsettling and thought-provoking chapter!

From visionary writer Alan Moore, Cinema Purgatorio continues its unique multi-story format, blending horror, satire, and experimental fiction into a cinematic comic experience. Each issue presents several distinct narratives, unified by themes of media, violence, and storytelling.

In issue #12, Moore’s central storyline pushes further into the disturbing nature of entertainment and spectacle, while additional segments from acclaimed creators explore war, pulp adventure, and psychological horror. Each story is rendered in a different artistic style, reinforcing the anthology’s fragmented, film-reel structure.

Daring, intense, and visually striking, this issue continues to solidify the series as one of the most innovative mature-reader anthologies in modern comics.
