New on Comixology as an ebook for Halloween, but not yet showing up on the Amazon Kindle store, is Gou Tanabe’s manga H. P. Lovecraft’s The Hound and Other Stories (2017). 163 pages in English translation. Noted manga artist Tanabe adapts three Lovecraft stories, “The Temple”, “The Hound”, and “The Nameless City”. There are done as faithful adaptations with strong historical research on how costumes and objects looked. ‘Faithful’, in the case of “The Nameless City”, will probably be interpreted by action-avid comics readers as ‘very slow and dull’. But for others it may be just the ticket.

“The Temple” is here shifted forward in time to the Second World War, and may be especially interesting to readers of the British Commando comics who are feeling starved of the supernatural in this long-running war comics series (Castle of Fear and A Soldier’s Luck being about as supernatural as we’ve had it, so far).

Update: the UK Amazon now has a page for it but suggests the Kindle release has been put back a month, until December. Perhaps Comixology has an exclusive period on it?
