Lovecraft&#8217;s most famous stories involving the Cthulhu Mythos: &#8220;The Nameless City&#8221;, &#8220;The Festival&#8221;, and &#8220;The Call of Cthulhu&#8221;.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Very pleasing artwork and lettering&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/inside-art.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/inside-art.jpg?w=529\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"760\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16410\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It if reminds you a bit of the best 1970s <em>Eerie<\/em> or the oversize b&amp;w Marvel Comics, that may be because the same artist did <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LQhZoz\"><em>Red Sonja<\/em> with Roy Thomas<\/a> and appeared as an artist in <em>Eerie<\/em>.  Thought it seems that these strips didn&#8217;t appear there, and are new translations from the Spanish.  They are said to have appeared in the back of the Spanish children&#8217;s comic <em>Capitan Trueno<\/em>, of all places, and then vanished. The artist never had his art back from the publisher, but he recently found good photostats and has now republished the strips in English.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not keen on the cover, but I guess &#8216;Show The Monster On The Cover&#8217; is what gets a few extra sales in today&#8217;s crowded comic-store marketplace. Currently the book is only available in paper, and runs to 80 pages. If this gets onto Kindle at \u00a33.99, once the print-run sells out, it should sell very well there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new comics anthology of Lovecraft adaptations, Lovecraft: The Myth of Cthulhu, and it&#8217;s wholly new in English. &#8220;Illustrated in &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2018\/09\/28\/lovecraft-the-myth-of-cthulhu\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lovecraftian-arts","category-new-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
