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."
...reveals The Los Angeles Times HERE, which goes on to talk more about what Ron is up to.
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?
