An alternate vision of the biography of H. P. Lovecraft, this fanciful, gothic account imagines the childhood years of an author who would go on to write such innovative, weird fiction as the Cthulhu Mythos story cycle and the classic tome Necronomicon. Derived from the popular webcomic, each panel in this series imagines how Lovecraft’s childhood would have occurred had he been visited by the horrendous creatures that later appeared in his finest fiction. Fans of Lovecraft will enjoy this humorous view of a misanthropic boy dealing with bullies and literary rejection as only a gothic can—with a large book of witchcraft and a few miscast spells.

Continuing the alternate biography of a true legend of horror, this book follows Little "Howie" Lovecraft and his ghoulish crew of friends as they deal with the boredoms and challenges of youth, from the labors of daily homework—and the misadventures of the golem created to do the work instead—to dealing with Siouxie, the new girl in class who just moved from Detroit. Using an expressive style to capture the anxieties of Lovecraft’s youthful episodes, the illustrations complement the plot that is at once humorous, macabre, and ever gothic. Each of the artistic panels are peppered with artful references to Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Rimbaud, Herman Melville, Nick Cave, Siouxsie Sioux, and the Misfits.

To avoid the Y2K problem, the years don't have numbers, they have names: the year of the Rabbit, the year of the Cloud, the year of the Earth. Now is the year of Rick Rickard Jr., the gifted Nobel laureate in economics and possible Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency. But how does all this affect Juan L#65533;pez, an unemployed resident in Barcelona? Elegantly drawn and rendered in beautiful, rich watercolors with a pop culture aesthetic, this imaginative, absurdist narrative is told with dark humor and explores apocalyptic themes, showcasing Marcos Prior's unique voice and singular vision as an artist. This work is in association with Diabolo Ediciones.

A lighthearted view of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, The Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) is based on the webcomic of the same name by François Launet, which chronicles the “daily” lives of the Great Old Ones, including Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Yog-Sothoth, among others. This funny collection of gag comic strips is a parody of the horror genre that further investigates in humorous detail the monster characters originally created by Lovecraft. Although meant to invoke laughter instead of the usual terror found in Lovecraft’s work, the book explores dark and mature themes such as death, religion, and the occult, albeit in a light and fanciful manner. This work is in association with Diabolo Ediciones.

The band the Flystones are rebels of Flytown, fighting against repression, injustice, and corruption. But Don Bumblebee, the abject, manipulative, and always angry Flytown mayor, decides to prohibit the dissemination of pop music in all its variants. A fun story with a rock edge to suit the rockstar writer and the real-life counterparts of the animated characters—a band whose roots are in punk, rock, and counterculture—the age-old battle of good versus evil takes wing. Music becomes a vehicle for freedom as the Flystones fight Flytown injustice in a fictional world that is not unlike reality, but with a heavy dose of satire mixed in. This work is in association with Diabolo Ediciones.
