Dark Worlds Quarterly<\/em> peers into the old 1970s Carlton Comics, and particularly their Lovecraftian work in the horror monthies… Part One<\/a> and Part Two<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s a link on the first post to the Digital Comic Museum<\/a>, of claimed “public domain” comics, where they have over 1,000 Charlton scans currently listed. Though sadly missing is Ghostly Haunts<\/em> #28, December 1972, which Dark Worlds Quarterly<\/em> spots as effectively featuring Lovecraft as both a cover-star and the lead character in “No Way Out”<\/p>\n

Ghostly Haunts<\/em> was Charlton’s answer to the 1970s titles House of Mystery<\/em> and Tower of Shadows<\/em> and it ran from 1971-78. #28 also had Steve Ditko interior story, but even so it seems fairly easy to find cheap on eBay in a slightly worn condition. However a little searching online reveals… there’s “No Way Out”<\/a>. Another item for a potential ‘Lovecraft as Character’ encyclopedia.<\/p>\n

Talking of comics, an undergraduate-oriented introductory Comics Studies: A Guidebook<\/a><\/em> book is set for publication in mid-August 2020, from Rutgers University Press. <\/p>\n
