I read several comic adaptations of Lovecraft's stories, manga adaptation of "At the Mountain of Madness" being one of the very good ones, but this series of books by I.N.J. Cullbard are just wonderful.

Presented in the wonderful drawings, this story was truly augmented and presented in the most cinematic way possible. Story itself follows the original Lovecraft's novel but manages to create the pressure of unseen terror, always that something lurking from within shadows without making the visual presentation difficult to the eyes.

Excellent adaptations, highly recommended to all fans of horor and especially Lovecraft. ( )

Pretty good graphic novelization. Culbard lets the pictures do their thousand word thing and leaves out most of Lovecraft's purple prose for just the spare dialog. Almost anti-Lovecraft which is refreshing for a Lovecraft novelization. After building the suspense, a little weak on the payoff; I would have liked to have seen more of the chase by the shoggoths. Unless you've read the story by Lovecraft, which I assume almost all readers have, the menace of the shoggoths is a little vague. Why exactly are they so scary? I guess we presume they are the perpetrators for what happened to the others. ( )

Evocative artwork that feels right for the period, without simply imitating it. Culbard has done a good job adapting the story, with minor alterations to better fit the medium, and the slight expansion of the framing device works well. Really enjoyed this. ( )

This is an interesting view into H.P. Lovecraft's story. The art is simplistic, but also evocative. I enjoyed the story, but it was somewhat superficial - it didn't bring me into the world as much as I had hoped. ( )

Very good adaptation of Lovecraft's work. ( )

It is not only that Culbard has so cunningly boiled down Lovecraft's rather weighty novel, leaving its exciting plot free to breathe; it's also that his superb ligne claire drawings so effortlessly evoke both the world of Tintin, and the Edwardian science fiction of HG Wells and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
