The Harrowing of Hell is a comic book written by Evan Dahm and published by Iron Circus Comics.

## Background

[edit]

The comic book was originally intended to be published in March 2020, but the COVID-19 Pandemic pushed back the publication date to July 2020.[1] The story is a retelling of Jesus's descent into hell, otherwise known as the Harrowing of Hell, which was originally depicted in the Gospel of Nicodemus.[2][3][4] The story contains flashbacks to Jesus's life as he descends into hell.[5] Throughout the comic book Jesus answers questions with vague responses and an emphasis on storytelling, which leaves his own story open to interpretation.[6] Dahm used brush drawing to illustrate the book and the colors are limited to black, white, and red.[7][8]
