A certain publisher, apparently tormented by existential angst and guilt, has announced that they plan on "tearing down" the Mythos. "Destroy" all the tropes and "leave behind" the legacy of Lovecraft. Good luck, pinheads!  Cirsova Magazine has responded with something positive: cirsova.wordpress.com/2016/01/27/dunhams-destroys-cirsova-builds/So, if you think you can write a tale that fits the parameters, get it in. Cirsova Magazine is paying thrice what the mewling haters are.  |

I will likely buy one of those and it won't be the "tear down the mythos" one.

pulpcrazy.com/podcast/140.mp3In this week’s episode I discuss, Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham. It’s an Elseworlds tale set in 1928, featuring a pulp Batman encountering Cthulhu Mythos inspired elements. This was originally published as a prestige format 3-issue mini series. In the past few years, the individual issues proved pricey on the secondary market due to the popularity of Cthulhu Mythos and Lovecraftian fiction, but DC released a trade paperback collecting the series in late December 2015. It’s now available on Amazon for under $11.00. Writers: Mike Mignola & Richard Pace Penciller: Troy Nixey Inker: Dennis Janke Colorist: Dave Stewart Editors: Archie Goodwin & Mike Carlin Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger Cover Artist: Mike Mignola Links: Purchase Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Batman-Doom-That-Came-Gotham/dp/1401258069Lovecraft eZine: lovecraftzine.comH.

This is kinda wild... Guess who one of the editors for The Art of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos was? Brian Wood. That Brian Wood. www.amazon.com/The-H-P-Lovecrafts-Cthulhu-Mythos/dp/1589943074Apparently, he did a lot of "art design" work back in the day. This raises some questions. He probably had less of anything approaching the Mythos in his Conan "stories" (despite that being quite appropriate) than any of the major DHC Conan scribes. WTF? Also, if he did all that "design" work (and despite the Cthulhu art book looking good), what happened on the Conan comics? Despite what you've read, I've heard (reliably) that Wood absolutely did have say-so regarding his artists. WTF? Brian Wood is a piece of work.  |

pulpcrazy.com/podcast/141.mp3In this week’s episode I’m going to be discussing a comic book that ties in with H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Weird Detective from Dark Horse comics. I think it’s a comic that kind of fell below everyone’s radar last year and I’m going to be discussing it in depth during this episode. There will be spoilers, but this is more of a setup than a self-contained story, so don't be afraid to keep listening. This is more like a #0 or #1 issue. Weird Detective ran in Dark Horse Presents, Dark Horse's staple comics anthology title. Weird Detective is branded as a Lovecraftian crime comic. The tag-line is, “It takes a monster to catch a monster.” It's written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Guiu Vilanova. Josan Gonzalez is the colorist and Nate Piekos of BLAMBOT is the letterer. Francesco Francavilla provided art for one of the covers to Dark Horse Presents #8 featuring Sebastian Greene, the main character. The third part concludes by announcing Weird Detective will return in a new #1 issue. Links: Dark Horse Website: darkhorse.comThe Lovecraft e-Zine: lovecraftzine.com

Van Lente really got the shaft on Conan when they stuck him with Ching (making FVL follow Wood was no blessing either). Thanks for the review, Jason. |
