The Book of Purgatory is a comic adaptation/reinterpretation + crossover story between classical works of literature, depicting the stories themselves, and what could have happened after their endings. At the forefront of this story is Doctor Faust, and his demonic companion Mephistopheles.
In a sleepy medieval town, an angel’s playful visitation causes both infatuation and dread for three once carefree boys. His philosophies impart an unnatural kind of insight on his new friends, life altering for them, and just a diversion for himself.
This chapter is adapted from and quotes The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain.
