About the book
In 1934, Art Young, the preeminent American political cartoonist in the twentieth century, wrote and drew his satirical interpretation of Gustave Dore's version of Dante's Inferno and created a searing indictment of capitalism. Everything in the new Hell is privatised and operated by a corporate monopoly - maximising profits and misery. Each page of Young's art is reproduced here in full colour, and the includes a new introduction by Steven Heller, a foreword by editor Glenn Bray, and the original 1934 essays by Young himself and his 'friend, admirer and attorney' Charles Recht.
