Message: [QUOTE="Cuestionador, post: 283538, member: 4875"] One of the books that i read the past year was a compilation of many lovecraft tales published in Weird Tales translated to spanish by an expert on Lovecraft, who was one of the founders of a magazine called El Péndulo, a mayor literature/science fiction publication of my country in the eighties. It was a great read, short stories like The Music of Eric Zahn or Dagon are a voyage to another disturbing (but fun and engaging) world. I have a couple of reccomendations regarding Lovecraft in comics form, both done by argentinian artists: Alberto Breccia (the same of Mort Cinder and a remake of the Eternauta done for Gente in 1969) did The Myths of Cthulhu in the seventies, with Norberto Buscaglia doing the writing adapting many short stories. It's a ride, with many chiaroscuro and experimental drawing techniques, years ahead of the rest of the comics world at that time. Here's a example: [ATTACH type="full" size="889x1280"]97117[/ATTACH] The other suggestion is the graphic novel Lovecraft, written by Hans Radionoff and Keith Giffen with painted art by Enrique Breccia (one of the best argentinian artists of all times), the son of Alberto. This one tells a story about the life of Lovecraft where the cosmic horror is real and affects the life of the writer. There where plans of making a movie about this one, and i remember that Guillermo del Toro own a couple of original pages of this work. Well worth the look: [ATTACH type="full" size="734x1000"]97118[/ATTACH] Honorable mentions: Corben adapting Lovecraft for Haunt of Horror, it's a delight and one of the best works of his late years as a comic book creator. He did a short adaptation of a short story by Clark Ashton Smith published in the second volume of Comics International in Spain who is one of my favourite horror comics of all time. [ATTACH type="full" size="640x983"]97122[/ATTACH] And the last one is Jaime Brocal Remohi, who did adaptations of Lovecraft for the spanish tebeos published by Toutain, including an album called "The other Necronomicon", where Alberto Breccia appears as a character (it's a metafictional work using lovecraft, years before Carpenter doing something similar in a movie called In the Mouth of Madness). I'm sure [USER=111529]@Fray Guillermo[/USER] will appreciate this one: [ATTACH type="full" size="600x810"]97123[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
