Newest comic version of HPL's classic story, Feb 4 2011
By Matthew T. Carpenter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu (Paperback)
Transfuzion Publishing continues to do excellent work in printing graphic novels of special interest to Cthulhu mythos fans. The latest offering is a graphic novel version of Call of Cthulhu with art and abridgement by Michael Zigerlig. Mr. Zigerlig is from Berne, Switzerland and has just recently begun pursuing his interest in art. He has an original Lovecraftian story, Five Swords from Outer Hell, he is working on and which may see print from Transfuzion Publishing in the future. The introduction is provided by HR Giger.We all know the story The Call of Cthulhu. Mr. Zigerlig has edited out the more racist elements (nautical looking man for nautical looking Negro, for example). The main attraction of course is the art. The benchmark has to be John Coulthart's magnificent version, available in the 1994 publication Starry Wisdom as well as his own book The Haunter of the Dark: And Other Grotesque Visions. While Mr. Coulthart's version remains my favorite, there is plenty of room on the shelf for this new book. In some ways Mr. Zigerligs drawings are more classic (no anime here!) but I liked the depictions of R'lyeh and of Cthulhu well enough. Certainly fans of Lovecraftian comics will want to take a look.
The price is a bargain at $9.99 for a 70+ page book. I hope we get to see more of Michael Zigerlig's work soon. Keep up the good work, Trasfuzion Publishing!
PS: The book is for sale at Amazon but there has been a problem. Search via ISBN: 9780941613897. After almost a year, Amazon has mostly corrected the improper listing of the author and blurb, but one customer review remains for a different product. Just make sure you get the product you ordered.

H.P. Lovecraft + graphic novel = awesome!, May 11 2012

This review is from: H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu (Paperback)
This is a great addition to any fan of H.P. Lovecraft. Even if you're not into comic books or graphic novels it's still worth getting. The entire book is in black and white, but to me that just adds something special to the story. Of course this is an abbreviated version of the original story, but the majority of it is still in tact. The art style is very well done and brings Lovecraft's creations to life. Two thumbs up for this book! Well done!
