Italian newspaper Il Giornale has a review of the new Lovecraft comics anthology, noticed here before Christmas.

The stories selected by Congedo and Montano all predate the Cthulhu Cycle. There are no cosmic gods screaming from the centre of the universe, no scary, sprawling creatures emerge from the bottom of bubbling abysses. “The Terrible Old Man”, “The Cats of Ulthar”, “The Outsider” and “The Hound” are by comparison (almost) stories of everyday life. And it is precisely this frightening simplicity that help keeps the reader gripped until the last panel. The comic’s colors are acid, the strokes are pulp. … “The Outsider” becomes a sort of literary confession that drops the reader into a labyrinthine abyss and makes him touch the ultimate meaning of feelings such as loneliness and isolation of the truly ‘different’ person. And it is here that Lovecraft literally comes face-to-face with one of the themes dearest to him: the devastating density of the feeling that one is completely ‘out of this world’.

A fine new front-cover is now available, which wasn’t to be had before.
