More graphic novels. Kind of. Actually several of these appear to be more like heavily illustrated tales.<\/p>\n

1) The indie Alien Books’ Horror Pulp Stories<\/a><\/em> is set to ship on 4th October 2023, a one-off publication including Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu” with…<\/p>\n

the chilling illustrations of master of horror Salvador Sanz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2) Keys Of Cthulhu<\/em> One Shot #1. Sounds a bit tenuous, initially. A witch called Avril Williams visits a “mysterious South American island teeming with evil” and… Cthulhu. In 48 pages of actual story. Though elsewhere we learn that it’s just part of a larger set of tales, and that it…<\/p>\n

brings the Grimm Universe one step closer to the climactic finale of ‘The Year of Lovecraft’, as Dagon slowly gathers the keys necessary to unlock Cthulhu’s prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3) The new Strange Horror<\/em> #1 comics anthology has an adaptation of Lovecraft’s “The Music of Zahn\u201d by Bill Bryan…<\/p>\n

updates H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s 1922 tale to 1973 cosmic punk. Bill Bryan pictures [early proto-punk band] characters looking for action who find more than they can handle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like it combines “Zann” with “The Terrible Old Man”? The preview PDF also has a tease for…<\/p>\n

Welcome to Dunwich is an H.P. Lovecraft homage I have since expanded to a 108-page monster book, that some day someone may want to publish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4) This week the Deep Cuts<\/em> blog looks at Vagen till Necronomicon<\/a><\/em> (2017)…<\/p>\n

While some sellers have categorized this book as a graphic novel, it would probably be more correct to label this an illustrated novel [which is an] expansion of Lovecraft\u2019s \u201cThe History of the Necronomicon,\u201d retaining the essential elements of the story but expanding the narrative of Abdul Alhazred, adding a Vathek\u2013 or 1,001 Nights-style doomed romance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5) The “first Cthulhu by Gaslight<\/em> novel is set for summer 2024″ from Chaosium, “revealing sinister forces threatening the very heart of terror-struck Victorian London.” I’d imagine it will be fairly well illustrated, though it is not a graphic novel.<\/p>\n

6) And finally, an exhibition. “National Bestiary: Creatures of the Argentine Imaginary\u201d is apparently a mix of South American folklore and imaginary creatures from Argentinian comics (for instance, Lovecraft artist Breccia gave a public talk a few days ago). The exhibition runs until 24th September 2023, in the Juan L. Ortiz room of the Argentine National Library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
