A review by chwaters
The Lovecraft Anthology, Volume 1, by H.P. Lovecraft

3.0

This is a collection of graphic adaptations of H. P. Lovecraft's short stories. Included in this volume are some of his "greatest hits". In spite of being presented in a comic format, this really reads more like a dense picture book. Yes, there are panels, but they're really just illustrations with a box of text. I realize this is likely to retain as much of the original language as possible, but it becomes readily apparent that Lovecraft may not really translate as well to the comic format as one might hope. The artwork is merely OK. Nothing too groundbreaking. Not a bad introduction to Lovecraft though. Might be a less intimidating way of getting newbies into these classic horror stories.
