H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu (Manga) (H.P. Lovecraft Manga)

I had not read any Lovecraft prior to this, but wanted to once I learned that he was the creator of Cthulhu. After reading other reviews and seeing that this version was true to the original text, it seemed like a perfect entry to Lovecraft. This book was just what I expected if not better. Not only is the artwork fantastic, but the ideas and writing are also incredible and interesting—much deeper than I expected! The book itself is small, but appropriately sized. The majority of the book is in black and white, but there are several vivid images with color throughout that are just gorgeous. I would highly recommend, and definitely feel this is worth the price. I also purchased the other paperback texts from this series, and they are all the same size—perfect for my bookshelf. The hardcover “At the Mountains of Madness” is slightly larger than the paperbacks.

All of the books in this series are so beautifully illustrated. I really wish they could use the images to create an amazing movie.

Very good adaptation of Lovecraft with intricate detailed illustration. I've read the original and liked this very much. I got the hound and other stories by the same author (Gou Tanabe) as well as shadow over innsmouth and they were both great. The temple from the hound and other stories is really great!

This adaptation was quite good, kept close to the source material and its fascinating to see the journey depicted. Comparing this to the original, I was more thrilled by the original, the words gripped me in a trance, that in a fit of passion I wanted to know more. Good times, I recommend this to elder ones and new readers. The Size : "Shadows Over Insoumouth" By Gou Tanabe Overall Enjoyment : 7.5/10

This was a phenomenal take on the classic Lovecraft story & you can tell the creator put lots of love & care into respecting the source material. The images were striking! I can’t wait to get the rest of the set

Reading this story in this format was incredible. Seeing the horrors of the original author and the artwork blew me away.

There is no other Manga / Graphic Novel that has even come close to the Tanabe adaptation. It's great is every way as is every other Lovecraft adaptation he has authored.

Good stuff
