Graphic novel Stigmata (Art Publishing), by Lorenzo Mattotti and Claudio Peaches, brings forward a metaphor in the story of a lost man, a flawed man fell into a passion for drinking, the debauchery, the iniquity, but who also appear in wounds hands the nails that have been beaten once in the hands of Jesus. This makes it seem a saint and bearing against other miraculous powers. Although this character can not see himself more than a miserable, a brutalized society, an individual who fails to raise the impossible.
Essential problem could be inferred from the divine and the earthly issues relating to mess with that man does not fight, but let them stolen and that of the body, as the only man who can decide the vitiation of his body, who coordinates the movement, which Keep driving pleasure can to destroy the soul, as any excess leads to perdition. As in any fight, you always have to be defeated. The Christian vision of man is made to fight with passion, the hard part, but not to evade the kinds of tricks.
As the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas said "pain and suffering in all its grades, is impossible to detach us from the time of existence", because man trying to escape the vices, and what succeeds then recover gradually by the nature of suffering physics. It's like a closed circuit, as a bargain that it is man's soul, with its existence. What exists is subject to fears, imperfection or continue search of detachment and compassion. Body is chosen as an emblem of life, is an accounting of what succeeded or not. That man avoids the vice existence amine suffering through "tranquillizers", trying to resist the forgotten soul struggle with pain. Man barred lucidity, and it represses as depriving us of our limitations own right. Thus, in substance, we can not make more choices than we have been given to do.
The essence of the Christian story has a stake. The wounds of hands protagonist means that despite any problems, before any hopelessness, Providence watches and anything that gets to happen is we try.
Another idea would be extremely important not to abuse the flesh at the expense of soul. Near the end of certifying a character to the Word of God, that is an instance saving, a milestone of hope for a distance of futility.
Graphics (which belongs to the legendary designer Lorenzo Mattotti) is suggestive images are captured clothing. There is a hardness of artistic expression. Comic play is changed to gray human existence, with that shade into that often falls. Faces that seem to leave the piece of paper that held the string characters. They could be what are not, but are in how they choose to be.
