Lovecraftian comics?

[ShadowTuga]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good comics featuring HPL's creations.
Since I started reading his tales, I was warned to ignore everything based on the mythos that didn't come from Lovecraft himself; that includes comics of course, but years ago I found out about "The Doom That Came To Gotham" and enjoyed it very much (it helps that Bats is my favourite comic character, but nevertheless, it was a good story).

Any other stuff I might enjoy?

I've never read Lovecraft, but I think Alan Moore's Neomonocron (or something like that) is Lovecraft. But not sure.

You must correct that now. You can get his entire works in free legal ebook form here http://cthulhuchick.com/free-complete-l ... ok-kindle/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Download. Read. Thank me later.

His writing is the basis of all modern horror. Don't let the millions of B-movies and bad adaptations of his work steer you away. He is absolutely awesome.

It's Necronomicon by the way.

There was a book by IDW or Boom called Fall of Cthulu a year or two back, I presume that was Lovecraft related.

If it was IDW probably very loosely related...

Just researched, it was Boom:

The name of the comic Elveen mentioned was Neonomicon. It was published by Avatar.

My bad. I figured he was referencing the Lovecraft creation. Is Neonomicon related to Lovecraft or just playing on the name?

Edit: just clicked on the link. Guess it's inspired by Lovecraft.

IDW's Infestation 2 crossover had Lovecraft's monsters fighting CVO, The Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, TMNT, The Transformers, and Dungeons and Dragons.

double post sorry.

that seems wrong on soooo many levels...

Neonomicon was heavily Lovecraftian. Fans of monster rape fish will like it.

But why stop at comics? Try the Cthulhu fruit:

That fruit is boss, man. What is THAT?

Elveen, you DO have to read HPL, man. When I discovered his work, I was so blown away by it that I bought his anthologies' copies for my friends to read and keep, just because I HAD to talk to someone about what's in there. He was SO ahead of his time, it's unbelievable. "At the Mountains of Madness" or The Whisperer in Darkness" (and so many others) will remain in your memory for years.

I'd warn you for the little "racist" wording he sometimes uses, but a lot of authors of that era are accused of the same. You have to take it in the context of those times, but I admit it might be upsetting for 21st century sensibilities.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll see if the local library has a copy, since they have a ton of Alan Moore's work. Oddily, I don't remember hearing about that book.

I'm a HUGE Lovecraft fan and I do have a recommendation for you. That Fall of Cthulu that someone mentioned in this thread is excellent. I read all of the digital trades of that series around Halloween and really dug it. I think any Lovecraft fan would like it.

This does look very interesting. Thanks!

I remember when this was published and reading a good review about it on D&D's "Dragon" magazine, I think, but I had completely forgot about this book until you mentioned it.
Thanks!

Yeah, thanks. I found a couple issues of this at a local bookstore and wasn't sure if I should take a chance on it. Next time I'm there I'll grab whatever they have.

Fatale is supposedly a Lovecraft-influenced work. Until this week this was unknown to me.
I now have an excuse to check it out (and it's Brubaker).

It's really good (at least the first trade is).

Grant Morrison's 'Zenith' (which is due to be republished soon) has Lovercraft inspired baddies (the Many Angled Ones standing in for the Great Old Ones etc.).

I thoroughly recommend it, although it has a very British vibe as it was written in and set in the late 80's and early 90's, with a lot of pop culture references that may not translate too well outside the UK.

My LCS owner suggested that to me (the new upcoming collections) but in a "what under-the-radar Morrison comics are out there? question.


Many Angled Ones is pure GM.

I hope you are not disappointed if you give it a try. I absolutely loved Zenith, and for for it is my favourite 2000AD series from a few hundred issues of reading the magazine.
