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.
