Comics adaptations of several of Lovecraft's better-known stories. The stories are necessarily abbreviated, but are nonetheless well-done.

The illustration is really good! The Dunwich Horror is just a can of anti-mixed-people sauce, so I'm glad that they didn't romanticize anything

This is an above-average collection of graphical interpretations of Lovecraft's work. Many similar collections have been put together in the past, but this one succeeds because of intelligent adaptations and some very spot-on artwork from D'Israeli, Shane Ivan Oakley, Mark Stafford, and others. There is only one weak piece in the collection (a dull and visually mediocre take on "The Shadow over Innsmouth"), but the rest of the contents are strong enough to make me look forward to the promised volume 2.

This is a collection of graphic adaptations of H. P. Lovecraft's short stories. Included in this volume are some of his "greatest hits". In spite of being presented in a comic format, this really reads more like a dense picture book. Yes, there are panels, but they're really just illustrations with a box of text. I realize this is likely to retain as much of the original language as possible, but it becomes readily apparent that Lovecraft may not really translate as well to the comic format as one might hope. The artwork is merely OK. Nothing too groundbreaking. Not a bad introduction to Lovecraft though. Might be a less intimidating way of getting newbies into these classic horror stories.

I enjoyed this illustrated version of HP Lovecraft's work and how artists had interpreted the stories. If you're a fan of Lovecraft than I certainly recommend this graphic novel to you.

Some of these are beautifully illustrated. However, I apparently can't stand H.P. Lovecraft.

Trasporre graficamente Lovecraft รจ assai arduo.
Pensavo che rievocare quel misto di angoscia, oppressione e follia sarebbe stato addirittura impossibile, ma invece devo dire che questi adattamenti non sono niente male.
Consigliato!
