I'm trying to find the vertigo graphic novel, Lovecraft... their site says its out now (march 4) but Amazon, and everywhere else I looked doesn't have it in and say it isn't published yet. Anyone found anywhere selling it? preferably on-line, or london.

maybe you could get your local comic store to order it? i've had mine pre-ordered through my local for a while. it was in an issue of previews a while back.

It's about one man's passion for making models of cathedrals using matchsticks, and how his loyalties are sorely tested when he picks up a mysterious book called "The Crochetnomicon" in a second-hand shop.

Quite riveting, I believe.

Bought it last week. It's very good, though as a hardback a little pricey.

Skim-read it in the store. It didn't really do anything for me.

Basically, HPL is portrayed as a nice little boy who grows up knowing about demons and learns to master them. He writes the mythos as a kind of release valve to keep his sanity from cracking up.

Didn't seem to bear much resemblance to the actual Life & Times Of... and kind of skipped over all the self-loathing, body horror, homophobia, racism and literary furore which woulda made for an HPL story that I wanted to read.

Mileages will doubtlessly vary.
