H. P. Lovecraft Comic Stories on Kickstarter

By Maryann Yin 

H. P. Lovecraft never published his full-length fantasy novel The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Jason B. Thompson intends to rectify that with his graphic novel adaptation.

Above, we’ve embedded a video about the project. In addition to Dream-Quest, he has also created comic versions of Celephais, The White Ship and The Strange High House. He has already released these comics on the web, but hopes to go back, re-touch the artwork and print all four stories in one collective volume.

Here’s more about the project: “To cover printing and shipping costs, I need your help raising $10,000. I’m taking Kickstarter pledges of all levels, and I’m offering rewards ranging from a printed copy of the book, to original artwork and sketches, to a poster map of the Dreamlands, to a never-before-printed Lovecraftian RPG adventure inspired by ‘Hypnos,’ ‘Beyond the Wall of Sleep’ and ‘The Green Meadow.’ If you’re really inspired, for $1000 and up I’ll even do a complete new comic of the short Lovecraft story of your choice!”
