Sunday Times ![]() ![]() My version of the real world isn’t all that realistic – there aren’t all that many cars – but I wanted to throw Hellboy into a world that was entirely made of all the things I would draw if I had no job and could just draw whatever I wanted. ![]() I’ve been surprised at how pleasant hell is, in your comics. This is the end of the series.” There’s one big thing he has left to do, or maybe two. So originally it was going to go on forever, and then it was going to be four books, and then I replotted it so it was three … And I guess by the end of issue eight, which is out, he’s sitting under a tree and it just suddenly felt like, “Oh.

Dense and difficult-the more so as I entered the book woefully uninformed about Catholic and Christian Hermetic ritual and terminology-but also endlessly fascinating and edifying, especially in the recondite and convincing manner with which scientific, psychological, and anthropological phenomena are reconciled with the spiritual revelation of Christ. The anonymous author-who insisted that his French original be published posthumously-delivers his perceived insight and transcendent guidance from beyond the grave, in a manner of speaking, via epistolic essays on the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot. A profound, beguiling, and massively erudite exposition upon Christian Hermeticism built from within the traditions of the Roman Catholic church.
