Back in 2012 Tentaclii<\/em> noted that Horacio Lalia was seeking English licensees<\/a> and translators for his H.P. Lovecraft comics adaptations. At the time I could only find one book collection of his work, and that not in English.<\/p>\n

New to me in 2021, I see that there are now four volumes of Lovecraft comics adaptations from this veteran b&w Argentine comics artist. Three were made for publisher Albin Michel and are now collectable at around \u00a360-80 used, plus a later one for Glenat which is still available at a reasonable price. All were published in French in the French ‘BD’ format. <\/p>\n

Lovecraft – La Couleur Tombee Du Ciel<\/em> (1998)
\nLovecraft – Le Grimoire Maudit<\/em> (2000)
\nLovecraft – Le Manuscrit Oublie<\/em> (2003)
\nLovecraft – Les Cauchemars de Lovecraft<\/em> (2014)<\/p>\n

Sadly it appears he never found a way to get an English edition, circa 2012. Possibly the b&w was a hard-sell, at a time when publishers assumed that young audiences needed garish re-colouring if they were to buy comics reprints. But British readers may fondly recall his name from 2000AD<\/em> and StarLord<\/em> in the late 1970s and early\/mid 1980s. Here is an example from what appears to be his 1970s work, with superb layout and fine penmanship, and another showing the woodcut-like style later used in his Lovecraft adaptations.<\/p>\n
