Caliber Comics (series)/Titan Books (collection).

Inferno (1-5; w Mike Carey; a Michael Gaydos). [From Titan Books: Murdered by an unknown assailant, John Travis finds himself in Inferno, a Hell not of fiery demons and satanic majesty, but an endless city seething with corruption, intrigue and despair. Yet death is the least of Travis' problems: he is accused of being Jacomo Terence, dead 800 years and the first man to escape Hell and live his life again. Naturally, this did not sit well with the Infernal Powers, and so Travis finds himself at the centre of a vast power struggle and thrust into battle with Inferno's seneschal - Lord Baal. From brilliant emerging talents, writer Mike Carey (Lucifer, Hellblazer) and artist Michael Gaydos (Alias), this is a rarely seen and never-before-collected slice of hell and damnation, including previously unseen artwork and an introduction by Brian K. Vaughan, acclaimed author of Y - The Last Man!] Old Book of the Week 1/7/04.
