Today John Coulthart finds the missing two pages for a Barlow/Lovecraft bio-comic from 1978, via a June post from Bobby Derie…

after 30 years I finally discover that the panel sequence showing a falling cat (seen earlier being dropped from a height by the young Barlow) has a happy conclusion that also ends the strip itself.

Weird. Last night I had a dream about a falling cat that lands safely on its feet, after happily leaping from two flights up. Really.

The bio-strip was in one of the early issues of the French news-stand comics anthology magazine A Suivre #6-7 (July-August 1978), then later reprinted sans the final two pages and still in French in the Italian anthology book The Cosmical Horror of H.P. Lovecraft (1991). It doesn’t appear to have yet had an English translation on-the-page.

This is how I’d suggest the strip should be read, complete. First page as a standalone, then three spreads, then a final turn of the page to reveal the ending and… the safe kittie but Barlow gone.
