Emmmm, space nougat. Thanks.

 

[ampnaman]

YES! More Lovecraft! Holy shit!

I loved that Haunter in the Dark adaptation

 

[PowerNine]

Aww yeah, the Colour has always been my favourite out of Lovecraft.

 

[Irian]

Idea of doing "Colour out of Space" in black-white manga is so absurd, that i like it

 

[picnic]

Can't wait for all of his adaptations of Lovecraft stories to be translated. Thanks for your hard work!

How rare to see a manga team composed of a Westerner and a Japanese guy. This was a good start, very interesting and promising. I hope this...Howard? Phillips Lovecraft can keep this stuff up because if so he has a promising career ahead of him.

 

[Frenzy07]

@onibarubary he's already died in 1937 lmao

 

[Lithe]

Not too long, not too short. Also one of my favorites.

 

[Doomroar]

Man that second chapter was great, this Howard Phillips is on a roll, quite the promising fella.

 

[Nogoodnms]

This work goes very well with any song produced by Item Caligo.

This Howard rookie has talent. It's nice to see a western opening his own path in the manga world.

 

[Wadas]

@ZombiesAreeNotOkay This is an adaptation. Lovecraft was a famous western Horror author, famous for Cthulhu and similar horror. His work is deemed masterful until today and there are many works of him out there to be read.

@Wadas pretty sure he was joking buddy

 

[Acarphinus]

Really good adaptation, but I'm surprised (and pleased) that the mangaka has such a "straight" approach. Most adaptations get re-styled to look like mainstream manga. I think this shows his talent more, and respects the original material.
On the other hand, H.P.L. was a sad, twisted, man. He hated humanity, and meant to depict almost everyone as somewhat disgusting. The artist could certainly turn up the ugly a notch or two.

the art feels like somewhere between eastern and western. i can get the the lovecraft feeling. cool!

 

[phil777]

Holy shit. This is why you don't try to meddle with things that should not be. >_> It drives a man insane, even the bravest of us.

 

[phil777]

And for all those who don't know Lovecraft, you guys do know he's the one who wrote stories about C'Thulhu, Nyarlatothep and other eldritch horrors, right? >_> His work was also the inspiration for the Old Gods in World of Warcraft.

 

[phil777]

Thanks for the translation. A very good story for its genre.

i always thought lovecraft would be well suited for an illustrated medium like manga. this is a great read!
