Merrick here...


The LA Times sat down with Ron Howard; their conversation touched on Howard's first comic-to-film adaption: THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF H.P. LOVECRAFT from Image.

"It very cleverly uses H.P. Lovecraft in a fictional way, but there's some loose biographical elements. But it certainly has the flavor and the tone of Lovecraft," Howard told me during an interview for an upcoming story on a different topic. "The character is a very young Lovecraft."
[EDIT]
The comics present a somewhat timid writer transformed by cosmic creepiness into a reluctant player in the machinations of ancient evil. The young action-hero vision of Lovecraft feels not that far removed from the new-look detective in the Guy Ritchie version of "Sherlock Holmes" or perhaps a not-so-distant relative to the occult-savvy characters portrayed by Johnny Depp in the period pieces "From Hell" and "Sleepy Hollow."

I'm kinda bummed that I never caught up with these titles when they were issued as comics, and now ordering them online seems a bit expensive...if they can even be found at all. Anyone out there taken a look at these yet? How are they?
