Lovecraft Comic Reprints Go Digital
Monday, March 31, 2008
Caliber Comics is once again making "The World of H.P. Lovecraft" series available. Originally published in the 1990s by the defunct Tome Press, these classics have remained rare and sought after collectibles for the last ten to fifteen years. Now, Caliber has resurrected them in digital form, offering a number of issues for a mere $1 each. Finely illustrated Lovecraft stories like "The Music of Erich Zann," "The Statement of Randolph Carter," "The Alchemist," "The Tomb," "Beyond the Wall of Sleep," and "Arthur Jermyn" are all available. These are downloads that come in a watermarked PDF form. This is quite a bargain, especially when physical copies are near impossible to come by today. The $1 download price tag also nearly matches the original cost of each issue when they were released!
Incidentally, Caliber Comics has a number of other interesting comics in stock that will appeal to horror fans. Several forgotten zombie comics like "Dead World" are in the same cheap digital format as "The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft," alongside several unique booklets utilizing art by Francisco Goya and others, such as this illustrated Medieval record of woodcuts depicting the danse macabre.
