New to me, a fanzines catalogue ‘Cthulhu & Co.’, by Adam Joffrain. This French site appears to have scanned covers for all Lovecraft ‘zines and journals to about 2015, with most at size where you can see what’s going on. All neatly ordered by title and date, and easily navigated.

On Archive.org, a complete set of Spellbound, the 1976-1977 weekly comic for British girls who enjoyed supernatural stories. Mostly witches, ancient amulets, black cats, some time-travel. As was usual at that time, about five or six black and white strips in each issue, with about six pages each, some strips being episodic from week-to-week.

Lots of quite nice line-art and, on many strips, the art is in page-layouts that are quite dynamic (if often rather crowded). These days, the sort of crowded page seen below would be spread across three pages of a monthly American-style comic.

Even if you don’t care to read them, each page has panels that will potentially inspire an artist to think about their own framing, angles, expressions, and suchlike.

A Lovecraftian sculptor of the 1960s and early 1970s, the Frenchman Henri Etienne-Martin.

Etienne-Martin’s entry in Dictionary of Modern Sculpture, 1960. Note the outdoor “Homage to Lovecraft”, and he also seems to have made smaller variations of this stair/throne-like sculpture.

From a 1965 exhibition catalogue in French…

From recent auction sales of his work…

“Art et mythe – La cosmogonie d’Etienne-Martin, point de depart des “Mythologies individuelles”” (open access book chapter in French).

“What if H.P. Lovecraft had lived in the 1980’s”? Retro computer-heads now have the answer: A 80’s portrait of H.P. Lovecraft in a .PRG Commodore 64 binary executable, for glorious Commodore 64-o-vision.

Not sure about the steampunk cogs… but then I guess he would have been the first to do steampunk, had he lived then.

I never knew this existed, an Illustrated Fungi from Yuggoth in 52 pages, from 1983. Done in a pleasing and vaguely Moebius-a-like style, and I’d assume presented as facing illustrations for each poem.

It’s not online, so far as I can find. S.T. Joshi gave it a review in 1984. And there were 250 copies produced, according to other notices of the time.
