Noe’s Style
In analyzing the portfolio of Argentina’s foremost comic artist, Ignacio Noe, one might be prone to a spell of whiplash, as the primary genre wherein Noe delights — for, let us admit, this is what he, as any artist whose job it is to paint breasts

Convent of Hell
Perhaps the work most recently responsible for fanning the flame of Ignacio’s precarious fame, is “Convent of Hell.” A comic whose title, paired with even half a knowledge of the reputation behind the Noe name, is enough to predict the trajectory the comic will take. The story centers on a convent in Spain, where the quotidian life of, ostensibly, religiously devout nuns is revealed — within the first page — to be nothing but a camouflage for the Satanic hedonist’s theme park which they’ve created. The art style of “Convent of Hell” is notably ugly, in a beautiful way. The hard pop lines which combine to make up the jaws, noses, brows, cheekbones of the individual characters are exaggerated in the style of caricature drawings, making coarse and mannish the otherwise meticulously sexual. This partly allows Ignacio to lean into horror just as much as he does into eroticism. The expressions on the faces, along with being of a more tempered expectation of beauty, portray a satisfying gamut of emotion — which in this comic is either pleasure, or fear. Meaning moments of pleasure, just as moments of horror, are more potent — such as when Lovecraftian tentacles with phallic ends begin wreaking both the former and latter upon the convent’s eager, frightened inhabitants.
