A particular form of parody of Dante’s text is represented by the story “Catene”, published in Leo Ortolani’s Rat-Man issue #21. In this story, Dante’s universe is recognizable as the main hypotext, even if it has clearly presents a “popular” face : this aspect is obvious from the use of Dante’s most famous (but not always philologically correct) verses and from the construction of an infernal background clearly traceable back to the Comedy.
