Cthulhu comic books

(W) Adam F. Goldberg, Hans Rodionoff (A) Diego Tapie (CA) Photo. Larry, Moe and Curley, the masters of laughcraft, meet Lovecraft, the master of cosmic horror. It's the ultimate mash-up of slapstick comedy and spine-tingling terror as the Three Stooges take on the tentacle-faced Elder God himself: Cthulhu! When their latest get-rich-quick scheme goes belly-up, the boys find themselves in deep water, surrounded by the fishy followers of Old Octopus-Face. Their only hope is to track down the reclusive writer of Weird Tales, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Cover price $6.99.

1st prinitng. By Rachel Gray. From encounters with Barnabas Marsh and Wilbur Whateley to dangerous seaside communities, this witty exploration covers the multitude of imaginary dangers, escape options, and chances of survival when confronting these horrors. Shoggoths, Nightgaunts, ghouls, and Cthulhu all have ventured into popular culture in the form of cuddly toys, but as this entertaining overview proves, these monsters are not so warm and fuzzy when met face-to-face, face-to-muzzle, or face-to-tentacles. Authoritative and hilarious, this "survival guide" sheds light on the mysterious and often unimaginable world of Cthulhu. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.

Before recorded history, they were. Cthulhu. Nyarlathotep. Azathoth. Yog-Sothoth. Shub-Niggurath. Nug. Yeb. And Others. The Great Old Ones. Lurking just outside our reality. Powerful. Potent. And exceedingly patient. Awaiting the inevitable hour when the malignant stars are again right, permitting them to infiltrate the Earth, claiming our green world as their dark domain.

Against these impersonal cosmic forces stand the men and women of the Cryptic Events Evaluation Section of the Department of Defense. Can these dedicated agents hold back the eternal night foretold nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh rises from the Pacific deep and Great Cthulhu awakens from his brooding slumber?

Don't count on it….

A collection of ten stories pitting the Cryptic Events Evaluation Task Force of the National Reconnaissance Office against Cthulhu and the other Elder Gods of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Taken from celebrated Cthulhu Mythos anthologies published over the last 25 years, most of these previously-uncollected tales have been long out of print.

Here, too, range the sworn enemies of those Elder Gods-the operatives of the Cryptic Events Evaluation Section of the National Reconnaissance Office. Can they stave off Ultimate Night-or must mankind grovel before the Great Old Ones who covet the Earth? Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 268 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $24.95.

1st printing. Based on the Story by H. P. Lovecraft. Adapted by Steve Philip Jones. Art and cover by Trey Baldwin. An all-new authorized adaptation of one of H. P. Lovecraft's most popular weird tales. Professor George Angell spent decades researching the time-scattered clues of a mysterious cult. Then... suddenly... Angell died. Or was he killed? Francis Thurston insists on finding out what really happened and believes Angell's research is the key: a loathsome, abominable secret that has driven those who have learned it to madness or suicide. But insanity and death pale to the ravening eons-old horror waiting patiently to be released upon humanity. Softcover, 76 pages, B&W. Cover price $11.99.
