Muy bueno. Pensaba que quedaban dos tomos más y no. La verdad es que el dibujo es digno de mención, ayuda a poner "cara" a los horrores descritos por Lovecraft e incluso ayuda a imaginar cómo sería una futura película sobre la obra (vamos Guillero del Toro, tú puedes).

Gou Tanabe's art is the reason for the good rating.

I found the black and white images hard to interpret at times. Understandably the landscape was sprawling and the creature shapes were gelatinous and undefined, but this doesn't dissuade from more Lovecraft or Tanabe in the future.

The best version of this story out there I think - Tanabe's art really makes the most of the story, both as a horror classic and as an Antarctic adventure yarn. I last read this on a teen so I completely missed the peak Lovecraft moment where he goes "well the alien super beings that ruled the earth were intelligent and civilized so they were good, but their brutish and degenerate slaves who actually built everything and rebelled against them, they were the true horror."

It's really all there in the text!
