What does this passage mean? Can someone explain the meaning of each sentence?
Great comic art is never otherworldly, it does not seek to mystify us, and it does not deny ambiguity by branding as evil whatever differs from good. Great comic artists assume that truth may bear all lights, and thus they seek to accentuate contradictions in social action, not gloss over or transcend them by appeals to extra social symbols of divine ends, cosmic purpose, or laws of nature. The moment of transcendence in great comic art is a social moment, born out of the conviction that we are human, even though we try to be gods. The comic community to which artists address themselves is a community of reasoning loving, joyful, compassionate beings, who are willing to assume the human risks of acting rationally. Without invoking gods or demons, great comic art arouses courage in reason; courage which grows out of trust in what human beings can do as humans. SO WHAT ABOUT THIS LINE, coz i really don't get the idea.. "it does not seek to mystify us, and it does not deny ambiguity by branding as evil whatever differs from good"?

Answer

Ah... no. Not from me at least.

I recognise this as an English comprehension exercise, so I think it's pretty unfair to expect us to explain it for you, especially the whole lot. For free, to boot.

You should be more specific in your questions. I'm sure you do understand parts of the text, and I'm also sure you can make an educated guess at other parts.  If you are truly lost on a phrase or word, then make a guess anyway and ask ONLY about that.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you'll get a lot more help by showing us (the other italki members) that you are going to make an effort before running to us for help.
