Just finished reading the four-part comic rendition of Lovecraft’s book. It was fairly entertaining, perhaps more so than the book would’ve been.
Nothing spectacular about the story, other than the absolute reliance on generally well known multi-cultural reference. The art was spectacular, and it impresses me even more knowing how vague Lovecraft was on describing that which no sane mortal being could bear complete witness to, and how baffled his characters were when attempting to explain the supernatural elements of his stories. Damn good comic, actually.
I have issued my request for challenges. My friends are expected to provide a list of portraits that they will expect of me. I think a lot of good will come of this. My first challenge was for a portrait of an online friend, whose complete face I have seen only one grainy picture of. This should be fun.
