BOOK DESCRIPTION

THE BLACK GOSPEL is structured around four apparently independent and self-contained stories that, as chapters, will add a new piece so that the reader can finally fit together a puzzle that will end up forming a graphic novel of the fantasy genre. The idea of ​​this graphic novel was initially inspired by John Milton's "Paradise Lost", an apocryphal narrative poem that tells of the fall of Satan and his intervention in paradise to pervert Adam and Eve.

In "The Black Gospel", the proposal goes much further and aims to review, in a fantastic key, aspects so deeply rooted in our mythology such as the creation of heaven and hell and the rise of Lucifer, giving it a different and original perspective, far removed from already known mythologies.

THE BLACK GOSPEL is Lucifer's bible. Just as the Christian bible tells us a complex story through the compilation of a series of "books", an amalgam of texts with different origins and created at different times in history, "The Black Gospel" is presented as an experiment on a graphic and narrative level that allows the reader to build the story from the different pieces offered. The script plays at creating a new cosmogony in which, through four stories (or gospels) there are hints of how Lucifer comes to conquer hell. The aim was to create an effect of disjointed pieces, as if each gospel had been narrated by a different prophet, something that is achieved with changes in drawing (and artists) and narrative style, not only in the text but also in the pagination and vignettes. At no time is religious provocation being sought, and the story ignores all reference to Christian mythology, although it takes some recognizable elements from it with which the reader will feel identified.
