Gou Tanabe x H.P. Lovecraft

Anybody else collecting these? I find these books really convenient for reading during a plane ride or train ride. I like that they're small enough to carry anywhere.

Currently, I’m reading The Shadow Over Innsmouth and plan to purchase The Call of Cthulhu once it's released. The art is mind-blowing. Gou Tanabe’s ability to capture Lovecraft’s cosmic horror through his illustrations is unmatched. His use of shading and contrast brings an eerie and atmospheric quality to the stories that really draws you in. That said, I do think the size of the books doesn’t always do the art justice - some details are so fine and intricate that they get lost in the smaller format. But like I mentioned, the compact size makes them perfect for reading on the go.

It's well known that Lovecraft was a big influence on Junji Ito, and I've been fascinated with his works for a while. I even bought a full omnibus of all his stories. However, with English being my second language and since I’m also more of a visual person, I prefer seeing horror in graphic form.

I still read horror novels - I own tons of Stephen King and other great horror finds, but when it comes to cosmic and body horror, I prefer seeing it illustrated. Tanabe’s adaptations are perfect for this because they blend the unsettling and strange atmosphere of Lovecraft’s writing with detailed, haunting visuals.

Junji Ito

Story : LCB got a new location of the golden bough, which is located under the great lake in U Corp. How is that possible? U Corp's law would be a huge trouble for them to get there. Nobody can go under the sea without special equipment.

However, Faust has good information for them. The sinners won't work alone this time and they will team up with "The Oceanic'' The Organization who does the researching in the special area of the Great Lake called "Seden"

--------

[Location that appeared in the story] Seden : the special area of the great lake which doesn't have the effect of U Corp's law. It is like The Nest, but not under control of the City. So this place is like a paradise for those who wish to run away from the big city to find peace for themselves. However, those who can afford that could be only the rich people... Note : Seden is a mixing word of Sea and Eden

Atlantica : The only island in Seden Area which is the destination of all rich people who wish to escape from the chaotic city to find their peace. However, it has been abandoned for some reason.

[The organization] The Oceanic : Organization who does the research in Seden. They study the secret of this paradise. How does this area not get any effect from the Great Lake's law? They also do the experiment on the sea creature they have found. Which appeared to be abnormalities.

Marine Rearaching Corporation (MRC) : Former researcher Organization who builded the city under the sea in Seden. Later becomes ruins and a home for sea creature.

[Abnormalities/ Creatures/ Enemies] Mare : The group of sea creatures that mix into one. It has a similar form to humans. Could it possibly be that they try to become human?

Sea Mother : ???? (WIP)

------

Character introduce Cordelia : The ex- color fixer who was a friend with Vergilius. She was as known as 'The Siren'. After retired from her fixer job, Cordelia is now the director of The Oceanic. Appeared to know Anderson and for some reason, she could understand what Dante said.

Vaness : ???? (WIP)

Hans : ???? (WIP)

Mr. Andersen : ???? (WIP)

------

I'm not sure how I gonna tell the story, maybe as the CG artwork? I don't think I have enough power to working on Comic. Anyway thank you for reading until the end!

The Adventures of Tintin and the Horrific World of H.P. Lovecraft

✨✨✨

A Scottish graphic designer Murray "Muzski" Groat has created an incredibly fun series of art that takes Hergé’s classic comic character Tintin and throws him into the terrifyingly awesome universe of H.P. Lovecraft. I'd love to see how these stories play out! Maybe Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg's next Tintin film should be The Adventures of Tintin: At the Mountains of Maddness.

Watch our brave adventurers flee from shoggoths, Deep Ones, fish folk, ghouls, Formless Spawn, Mi-Go, Elder Things, nightgaunts, Old Ones, Outer Gods and foreigners (i.e. non-Anglo-Saxons) as they face many an existential crisis regarding their insignificance on a cosmic scale!

What eldritch horrors await our companions as they unearth the secrets from untold aeons in the dark corners of the earth? Will they heroically flee from these abominations from the stars, or will they choose the merciful oblivion that is death by throwing themselves on squalid pavements or shooting themselves in the head? And what trick does Nyarlathotep have up ‘His’ sleeve this time?

Find out in The Weird Adventures of Tintin, by H. P. Lovecraft!

Covers:

* Tintin in Innsmouth (originally posted 27 September 2010)

* Muzski's note: "Zadok Allen (the town drunk and ex-sailor) could be played by the villainous Captain Allen."

* Tintin in R'Lyeh (originally posted 5 October 2010)

* Muzski's note: "PLOT ENDING: Tintin uses a crowbar on Cthulhu (BONK!), while Captain Haddock kicks his groping tentacles and curses alot. Cthulhu see's stars and hears little birds chirping, and slumps back into his tomb. Our heroes slam the cyclopean door shut, then have a wee chuckle to themselves, while walking back to the boat. Once they sail off, only Snowy notices the great city of R'Lyeh sinking back into the sea, before he puts his head down for a long nap while the sun sets in the distance. The End. 🙂 "

* Tintin and the Reanimator (originally posted 29 October 2010)

* Muzski's note: "PLOT: Ok, here we have Tintin and Snowy investigating the dubious activities of (the misunderstood) Herbert West, who loves bringing dead things back to life with his lizard-gene-soup. Eeeek!"

* Tintin at the Mountains (originally posted 18 November 2010)

* Muzski's note: "PLOT: Tintin and Snowy travel to the newly discovered and very mysterious Mountains of Madness, in Antarctica. They are looking for a missing expedition party from the Miskatonic University. Their bold leader and their friend, Professor Calculus was with the doomed party when everything went wrong."

* From Beyond (originally posted 2 December 2010)

* Muzski's note: "THE PLOT: Prof. Calculus is too busy working on a top-secret project at the Miskatonic Uni involving an expedition to Antarctica, so he asks Tintin and Captain Haddock to check in on his old friend Prof. Crawford Tilling-Ghast. To make sure he is well. Crawford has recently been slandered by the scientific community, for his outrageous cosmic theories, and becomes a recluse. Our heroes visit Crawford, but they are surprised by his bizarre machine, humming away suspiciously with a feint violet glow around it. Something is wrong! Crawford acts strange. His house staff have disappeared. Snowy keeps barking. There is a sudden sense like that of a rushing incoming train. Slowly, and slippery, something ghastly appears above Captain Haddock's head....!"

* The Shadow Out of Time (originally posted 9 December 2010)

* Muzski's note: "I based the layout on the June 1936 issue of 'Astounding Stories' magazine cover, where Lovecraft had this story first printed -> [link] "

* The Dunwich Horror (originally posted 3 January 2011)

* Muzski's note: "PLOT: Prof. Calculus is currently teaching at the Miskatonic Uni. on the subject of Antarctica. He contacts his pals Tintin and the Captain about several strange goings-on in the area, which seem to relate to the scarey Book Of The Dead - The Necronomicon (the uni library holds a copy). At night, the mutated Wilbur Whateley has broken into the library, looking for THE BOOK, but he gets savaged by the watchmen's dogs. Our heroes here this, but are too late. Wilbur dies, muttering "YOG SOTHOTH!" Snowy sniffs around, and spots a very old book lying on the floor."
