Adam Byrne sends us word that upcoming comic The Strange Adventures of HP Lovecraft is expected to hit stores by September this year.
Lovecraft is the comic's protagonist, endeavoring to put things right in a world that's starting to unravel. He may also be dual-wielding a pistol and sword. Here's the skinny:
Howard Phillips Lovecraft is a young writer of penny-a-word pulps in Providence, Rhode Island who suddenly finds himself on the brink of madness. His psychotic father died in an asylum, his catatonic mother is a current patient, and young Howard fears he’s next. When a strangely ominous book goes on display at the Brown University library bizarre murders begin to plague the city and Howard comes to believe he’s somehow responsible.
The art looks neat, the story sounds fun, and the team is oozing with unholy enthusiasm to get it right. The only thing missing is a big, flashing, 'pre-order' button on the front page of their website.
