Issue One of The Strange Adventures of HP Lovecraft was released this past wednesday and we’re hearing reports that it’s sold out all over town. Let us know if you’re having trouble finding the book. Email adam@lovecraftcomic.com to share your story.

Some early reviews have been particularly kind to us.

From MajorSpoilers.com:

“My first thought when I heard H’wood had picked up The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft to be turned into a motion picture even before the first issue had hit the stands was, “They’re going to make a movie of this?” Now, after finally getting my hands on the [comic, my] first thought is, “They’re going to make a movie of this!”

From IGN.com

“It’s a unique concept, and one with far more potential than your average Cthulu adaptation. It’s pleasing, then, to see Carter make such excellent use of it. Lovecraft #1 is a very well-written and surprisingly intimate look at a writer with crippling feelings of inadequacy.”

From LivingBetweenWednesdays.com:

“This is a damn good comic, folks. There’s plenty for a Lovecraft nerd like me to get all geeky about but it stands up on its own as well - I think that “tentacle monsters vs socially awkward writer in the Twenties” is a pretty universal plot by now, right? There hasn’t been too much creepy craziness yet but I’m certain that both the art and the writing are up to the task. And I’m pretty damn pleased that they didn’t go the easy route of making Lovecraft a gun-totin’ Teddy Roosevelt-esque he-man, as amusing as that might be. Save it for the Robert E Howard comic, guys! Highly recommended”
