So what I can theorise so far is that there are two potential things happening - Lovecraft is hallucinating massively and seeing his own characters (Randolph Carter here) come to life, or, we are reading some kind of meta textual appraisal of Lovecraft's work. A lot of this beautiful comic is filled with direct references to his works and those of his contemporaries like biographer S.T.Joshi, and direct quotes from his work.

Very intrigued to see where this goes.

Intriguing start. The letter to Robert E. Howard was my favorite part of the issue. Howard committed suicide the year before Lovecraft’s death so I’m curious if this included correspondence is based on one of their letters. Time to go down the rabbit hole.

Good, dreamy, moody art help tell an introspective and melancholic story about the last day of HP Lovecraft

Creepy, weird, and haunting, this is a perfect testament to the work of H.P. Lovecraft and the man behind the stories. The art was also gorgeous.
