V horách šílenství H. P. Lovecrafta 1 – Tanabe Gó (2023)

January 25, 1931: An expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica... where they find the local crew of men and sled dogs dead. Bodies are scattered everywhere, some are mutilated, others dismembered in a strange and cold-blooded manner. Several people are missing. An even more horrifying sight presents itself at a star-shaped pile of snow nearby. Beneath its five points lies a grave – and what lies within is not a human! ***** The novel At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the heart of Lovecraft's mythos – into the deep caves and even deeper abysses of time on a desolate continent, where the secret history of our planet is preserved. Since its first publication in the now-cult magazine of the pulp era Astounding Stories, this story has influenced the development of horror and science fiction worldwide. ***** Japanese screenwriter and artist Gō Tanabe has faithfully and with great respect adapted it into a manga, the first half of which you will find in this book, and which, with its artwork and overall style, resembles more of a Western comic, thus serving as a good "gateway" for those who are just getting acquainted with Japanese comics.
