I <3 Lovecraft?

Really loving the design of the cover of this book. The evolution is interesting, and of course the subject matter couldn't be better. Much respect to Adam Byrne for the rendition of the nefarious machine.

(The near-final, and final versions below.)

I love Lovecraft as well. Not to mention that he wrote about the Danvers Insane Asylum which was near where I grew up!

Hawt.

The graphics-design geek in me is loving that article (and chuckling at the price increase in the final version).

I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, myself, but I may skip this comic series. I've found that things "Lovecraftian" tend to caricaturize his writing more than pay homage to it.

I have to confess to never actually having read any Lovecraft, my youth mis-spent alternating between chatty sci-fi series and nerdy reference materials.

But I want this cover as a poster over my typing station.

You guys have to read Call of Chthulhu. It's kind of required reading for anyone who enjoys...well...weird stuff. Check it out here.

Probably as apt a time as any for me to share this. since Speegle has dared utter the name.
