If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Bob Stinson of The Replacements took a drunken detour into Dante’s Inferno, well, Stinson’s Inferno answers that question in the most gloriously unhinged way possible.

Yes, it exists. Continue reading Yes, It Exists: Stinson’s Inferno Graphic Novel →

You could see right then that he wasn’t long for this world. Rest in peace, Bob.
