It’s Barcelona in 1977, and you’re easing through the pungent alleyways of the Ramblas having bagged this new three-volume set of Relatos de los mitos de Cthulhu…

The above offers another peep at what Lovecraft looked like to the Spanish and Latin Americans in the 1970s, this time with rather more appealing covers than my 1972 example. The covers offer a nice visual mix of monsters, astrological constellations (as if seen low on the horizon through foliage), and what one might interpret as the ‘waves of time’ or ‘cosmic waves’ or simply the ocean.

The ‘Lovecraft and others’ bit suggests that the Spanish were getting a large helping of Derleth along with their Lovecraft, at this point in time. Derleth was apparently the editor. The set appears to have gone to at least another two editions, though with new and less appealing covers than these.
