This manga adaptation of the Mountains of Madness came out June 12th here in the US and it looks pretty damn good.

Thanks Jason.

I'll see if I can hunt down a copy today at the comic shop.

Looks like it's not out to July 10th, must have been pushed back.

Discovered this though thanks to charleshelm's Amazon link, an adaptation of the Hound, the Temple, and the Nameless City:

They've sold out at my local comic shop. Thankfully, they've ordered a copy for me, it'll probably take a week or so.

Charles, very nice addition to ye olde HPL collection there!

I've been working on picking up the UK Panther editions myself, trying to build a complete set.

I need to take more photos of my books.  I saw there is a new Book shelf thread.  May have to take some images soon!

Thanks for the pics Charles.

I've fallen asleep listening to the audio version on youtube several times. I tried to read the comic book adaptation by I.N.J Culbard - it's just to cartoony for me and lacks the necessary atmosphere. But the Japanese adaptation looks great.

Nicolas Cage is in an adaptation of The Colour Out of Space to be released soon.

It's Richard Stanley's return to film after so many years, so I'm hoping Color is good.

I very much wonder what a fuddy-dud like Lovecraft would think of this, as well as the board and video game adaptations of his work. He's really had a phenomenal impact on what might be termed the "fringe culture" Western youth has grown up with over the past century.

Lovecraft got it right in At the Mountains of Madness--there really are giant, creepy penguins!

Ole H.P. would be 129 this day of Tuesday, August 20, 2019.

Did you know H.P. was born on a Wednesday?  For some reason, his birthday won't occur on a Wednesday again until 2025.

In honor of his birthday, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is giving away free copies of their full-length radio drama, Herbert West: Reanimator!

Visit the HPLHS site today. Get a copy of Herbert West, and if you're not a member, you might consider becoming one.
