The other day there was a Lovecraft thread where some anon said "wouldn't it be cool if there was a comic where Lovecrafts fiction was interwoven with his life" and I though hey, there's totally a comic like that. So here's a storytime of Keith Giffen's Lovecraft

Don't let the art fool you, Lovecraft was a much cuter girl than this

About halfway through
Read it already, but good story OP. Thanks for the storytime.
This is a great story, and while I like Providence better as an example of "mythos was real"....this is just an all around well done Randolph Carter story.
Like "My Name is Bruce" but for Lovecraft.

Personally I don't enjoy Moore's Lovecraftian work at all.
>>90031775
Neonomicon is shit, and Courtyard is overrated...but I think Providence is just perfect.
What are your issues with it?
>>90031713
I clicked the wrong page, we're way past half.
>>90031843
oh shit

I don't know, I feel like he adds too much. Lovecraft's best work was always subdued horror but Moore always adds too much overt scares instead of steady building terror.
I just mean that in general, Providence is a great shared universe but his other Lovecraft work has soured me on it.
>>90031978
That's the rub with me then, I feel like Moore's work on Providence does have that sense of building terror - in key scenes at least, such as the reading of the Neonomicon and the general unease of everything about its Arkham analogue.
Innsmouth as well now that I think about it.
And god, that montage in #11 is frenzied insanity, fits really well.
I mean, yeah his other Lovecraft work is horrible...but Providence I think works well as a reconstruction in the vein of Supreme.

I love how much this focuses on his love for his wife.
While how distant he might have been to her in their personal life is usually debated (she suggests otherwise) there is no doubt of his feelings for her.
>>90032248
I believe any perceived distance was just a combination of Puritanical upbringing and his massive anglophilia
Thanks OP, just bought the Complete Fiction
>>90032386
Definitely.
I think we all love and know the "adequate lover" quote
And that's it, hope ya'll liked it.
>>90032248
Yeah, his last line in this comic regarding Sonia makes me a little teary.
>>90033204
If I have any problem with Providence...it's that it doesn't do much with Sonia.
Especially since fucking Courtyard and Neonomicon do the injustice of trying to paint him as abhorrent of sex.
>>90033178
thanks op, what a bittersweet ending
Thanks Op, you are a real human bean
