Cinema Purgatorio #9 (Avatar Comics, 2017)

The experimental anthology continues its bold and unsettling journey through dark storytelling!

From visionary writer Alan Moore, Cinema Purgatorio delivers another provocative issue blending horror, satire, and genre-defying narratives. Each installment presents multiple interconnected yet stylistically distinct stories that push the boundaries of comic storytelling.

In issue #9, Moore’s central “Cinema Purgatorio” narrative further explores the disturbing relationship between violence and entertainment, while additional segments from acclaimed creators delve into war, pulp adventure, and psychological horror. The shifting art styles enhance the anthology’s cinematic and fragmented structure.

Daring, challenging, and visually striking, this issue continues to stand out as one of the most distinctive mature-reader anthologies in modern comics.
