摘要
The article presents how the literary structure of the graphic novel Kingdom Come, first published in 1996, by Mark Waid (text) and Alex Ross (art) follows the structure of the heavenly journey which is typical of the Judeo-Christian apocalyptic literature found in the Revelation of John. The theoretical basis for the reading of Waid's and Ross's comics is the semiotics developed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The article starts from the presupposition that also in comics literature it is possible to verify the thesis of Canadian literary theorist Northrop Frye about the Bible as the "great code" of Western literature. The methodology used was bibliographical-documental. In the article's conclusion the results of the research are presented, that is, the proof of the assumption that led to its writing.
