Cthulhu Tales Omnibus Delirium by Boom Studios
Friday, July 15, 2011
Boom! Studios has decided to release the first definitive collection of their Lovecraftian comics in September, 2011. Fans of seeing Lovecraft in graphic novel format will rejoice when Cthulhu Tales Omnibus: Delirium appears. This 224 page monstrosity is one of the largest graphic collections ever released in the Cthulhu Mythos. It compiles the bizarre plot lines and impressive artwork from the first three volumes of Cthulhu Tales, all pioneered by Boom's many illustrators who have worked on the project over the years.
The stories on display in Cthulhu Tales Omnibus: Delirium are heavily responsible for the Lovecraftian renaissance in comics. Although Lovecraftian art has never been weak or uninspired, its history in comic territory was spotty until the early 2000s. Since then, H.P. Lovecraft's horrors seem here to stay in illustrated storytelling, and it may not have happened without Cthulhu Tales.
