Get it?
I am doing a Lovecraft creature specific gallery with creatures like Cthulhu, Dagon, etc.
I would love to run your comic in that issue, or at least the first few pages and then guide people here....
Funny.
Thank you so much!!
Like another commenter above I do have a little tug-of-war going on between the spare phrasing of Dr. Seuss and the verbose (sometimes redundantly) Lovecraft. It may be that an editor could help bridge that, or it might be you just need to sleep on it a bit and come back to some areas later with your own editorial eye. Regardless, you have your finger on something that is sort of profound when you manage to combine the sensibilities of these two poetic masters.
As for content, I was skeptical you'd be able to pull everything together, given the amount of layered framing going on in the original story. I can tell it was something of a challenge, and I am surprised I can say you pulled it off.. I mean, let's be honest, it still will be too confusing for "beginning readers" but this is not actually for kids, it's for Lovecraft fans.
That said, I would give it to my 6 yo daughter if not for that one little disturbing image (which is far too beautiful to remove) of the girl being carried off by the cultists... remembering as I do how clearly & permanently the images from Dr. Seuss books
Well my hat is off, I think this is probably one of the most original and polished pieces I have seen in a long time. Good luck with it sir!
damn, lost 2d10 Sanity points, but damn that was awesome!
Thanks for enjoying it nevertheless!
Why not drop the 'revised' versions right away and begin adapting 'The Dunwich Horror', right away? Now that is a follow up that I would love to see! What do our other readers think?
