The Holy Rage is based on a poem in prose entitled The Holy Rage, a Sermon written by Vinko Möderndorfer in November 2010 for the supplement ‘Saturday Supplement’ of the daily paper Delo. The Holy Rage is a literary-visual critique of the contemporary Slovene society, its authoritative structures and greed. The Holy Rage is a study of the actual condition of things, concrete social and political conditions; it is a story of the collapse of the moral and ethical values and an appeal for union for the freedom of the world.

Marko Kociper, a comic author, has transformed the poem in prose into a comic narrative and visually further spiced the literary already very juicy depiction of the social condition. The comic album The Holy Rage sums up and interprets Möderndorfer’s sermon on 32 pages. In the role of the narrator, the preacher, there is Badger that we have already got well acquainted with in the previous Kociper’s comics. The dynamics of the narrative in shades of grey is now co-created by full-page illustrations, whilst the album is permeated with the satire in Kociper’s manner.
