H.P. I’m in Lovecraft

In the first installment of Max’s 3 part limited series H.P. Lovecraft's Haunts of Horror, Richard Corben brings us his adaptation of
some of Lovecraft’s short stories and poems. We get “Dagon,” “The Scar,” and “A Memory” illustrated in fitting black and white with the original Lovecraft source materials included. Corben does a good job of showing the kind of unexplainable horrors that Lovecraft wrote about. In “Dagon,” we witness a man’s journey into madness after coming across a civilization of aquatic mutants and their god. “The Scar,” adapted from Lovecraft’s “Recognition,” is an imaginative take on simple two stanza poem. “A Memory,” is a chilling tale of a family curse.

The Haunts of Horror stories run like old EC horror comics. You have your eerie introduction; your peak, and ending all in short 10 minutes. Sometimes its gratifying to not have to wait weeks for the conclusion to a story.
