New "Call of Cthulhu" Graphic Novel by Michael Zigerlig

Transfuzion, a publisher specializing in graphic novels, recently posted some promising preview shots of an upcoming graphic novel based on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu." Two things make this comic notable in the growing world of illustrated Lovecraft: artist Michael Zigerlig has opted to retain Lovecraft's full language for narrating the tale, and an introduction by phantasmal artist H.R. Giger precedes the artwork. These aspects should be a heavy draw for Cthulhu Mythos fans. The graphic novel is available for pre-order at the publisher's website. It's scheduled to appear in the spring.

This is also not Tranzfusion's first Lovecraftian undertaking. They were previously involved with two volumes of comic adaptations called Worlds of Lovecraft, and they have also issued two volumes of The Miskatonic Project to date. Continuing their publication of Lovecraft inspired comics with The Call of Cthulhu suggests this is one publisher of weird art that is here to stay...at least for awhile.
