Image Comics Does Lovecraft
By Eric N on February 24th, 2009
I'll let some of our comic experts chime in with opinions on this in the comments, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up on Image Comic's new project, which sounds pretty sweet. It will basically take prolific horror author H.P. Lovecraft (great Wiki on his life for those not familiar with him), and put him in the middle of some supernatural stories. It's called "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft". Here's the official synopsis:
When an ancient curse transforms young H.P. Lovecraft's darkest nightmares into reality, the timid writer becomes both an unwitting god of destruction and the only person who can battle the evil he's unleashed into the world. One part biography, one part horror pulp, one part fugitive thriller and you have... one weird tale indeed.
The series will run 4 issues, with the first being released April 8th, 2009. Below are covers for the first two. What do you guys think?
