Lovecraftian and Cthulhu mythos comics

A Listmania! list by Matthew T. Carpenter (Peoria, IL, USA)
(REAL NAME)   
The list author says: "The recent profusion of Cthulhu mythos comics has made it difficult to find space for all of these in my other list. I am concentrating on graphic novels/compilations rather than the individual issues. If you are so inclined, here is a web archive that leads you to some online comics not otherwise available: http://lovecraftismissing.com/?cat=179 I prefer print editions but some of the work, like The Outsider from Elliott Rodriguez, is really wonderful. This website is a treasure trove for serious Lovecraft comic aficianados.

Art books are still in my other list. Let me know if I missed something."
Alan Moore The Courtyard (Color Edition)
1.  Alan Moore The Courtyard (Color Edition) by Antony Johnston
The list author says:
  "This is the very best of the best for Lovecraftian comics.  I like the color version.  If you know your mythos, you won't need The Courtyard Companion to get all the references and in jokes."
$7.19   Used & New from: $3.09

The Haunter of the Dark: And Other Grotesque Visions
2.  The Haunter of the Dark: And Other Grotesque Visions by John Coulthart
The list author says:

Fall of Cthulhu Vol. 1: The Fugue
3.  Fall of Cthulhu Vol. 1: The Fugue by Michael Alan Nelson
The list author says:
  "This book kicks off a glorious series from Boom Studios.  The overall story arc by Michael Nelson is what makes this great.  Even though I was less impressed by the ending, the accomplishment of the total series is impressive.  The Fugue is a terrific start."

Fall of Cthulhu Vol. 4: Godwar
6.  Fall of Cthulhu Vol. 4: Godwar by Michael Alan Nelson

Fall of Cthulhu Vol 5: Apocalypse
7.  Fall of Cthulhu Vol 5: Apocalypse by Michael Alan Nelson

Fall of Cthulhu Vol 6: Nemesis
8.  Fall of Cthulhu Vol 6: Nemesis by Michael Alan Nelson
The list author says:
  "And Mr. Nelson brings Fall of Cthulhu to its conclusion.  Alas I didn't like it as well as the beginning, but I still think all fans of Cthulhu mythos comics simply must read this series."
Used & New from: $99.98

Cthulhu Tales Vol. 1
9.  Cthulhu Tales Vol. 1 by Michael Alan Nelson
The list author says:
  "Unlike Fall of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Tales is 2-3 self contained mythos stories per issue.  It's a mixed bag, like most such comics, but in every issue I found something to admire, in terms of the story and/or the art."
$13.82   Used & New from: $0.11

Cthulhu Tales Vol. 2: Whispers of Madness

Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures
13.  Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures by Alan Moore
The list author says:
  "Yuggoth Cultures by Alan Moore is a bit outre, and I did not like it much.  However the graphic novel compilation includes all 3 issues of Yuggoth Creatures from Avatar Press, which was another wonderful original Cthulhu mythos story arc.  The art is pretty darned good too."

Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft
14.  Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft by Richard Corben
The list author says:
  "Haunt of Horror compiles three issues of retellings of HPL's stories.  For me, it is the best of such comic book versions of HPL's stories."

Necronomicon
15.  Necronomicon by William Messner-Loebs
The list author says:
  "Necronomicon was a 4 issue series from Boom Studios about everyone's favorite eldritch tome.  Decent but not as successful as Fall of Cthulhu."
Used & New from: $2.33

Arkham Woods
16.  Arkham Woods by Christopher Rowley
The list author says:
  "This English language mythos manga is a rousing success.  I just wish someone else would take up the gauntlet.  I thought Arkham Woods was the first but maybe The Dark Goodbye predates it."
$8.99   Used & New from: $0.01
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Taimashin, Vol. 1
17.  Taimashin, Vol. 1 by Hideyuki Kikuchi
The list author says:
  "Acupuncturists fight Wilbur Whateley's brother in this improbable manga translated from Japanese.  Mostly it's pretty weak but the mythos drawings are nice.  I have never seen the sequel."
Used & New from: $1.95

The Miskatonic Project: H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in the Darkness
18.  The Miskatonic Project: H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in the Darkness by Mark Ellis
The list author says:
  "This is only tangentially related to HPL's story of the same name, but it is a rousing comic."
$15.29   Used & New from: $9.11

H.P. Lovecraft's Miskatonic Project:  Bride Of Dagon
19.  H.P. Lovecraft's Miskatonic Project: Bride Of Dagon by Mark Ellis
The list author says:
  "Alas they kept going with it, and the result is the pretty weak Bride of Dagon."

Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft: Volume One
20.  Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft: Volume One by Steven Philip Jones

The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft: Dagon and Other Tales
21.  The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft: Dagon and Other Tales by Sergio Cariello
The list author says:
  "Too bad they didn't take on some of the major stories.  The reasoning was they wanted to avoid copyright conflicts, still an issue when these were written."
$17.09   Used & New from: $14.00

Only the End of the World Again
22.  Only the End of the World Again by Neil Gaiman
The list author says:
  "Neil Gaiman's delightful story of lycanthropy and Innsmouth is a natural fit for comic book adaptation.  Alas, I did not care for the art."

Howard Lovecraft & the Frozen Kingdom
23.  Howard Lovecraft & the Frozen Kingdom by Dwight L. MacPherson
The list author says:
  "I was not impressed with the art depicting HPL and didn't find the humor very funny.  On the other hand, the monsters were draawn with panache and how critical do you want to be with a comic book anyway?"
Used & New from: $17.75

Army Of Darkness Vs. Re-Animator
24.  Army Of Darkness Vs. Re-Animator by James Kuhoric
The list author says:
  "Not the best book ever, but if you must have everything that mentions an HPL character..."
$13.23
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Lovecraft
25.  Lovecraft by Keith Giffen
The list author says:
  "I don't understand the fascination with making HPL a character in a story where his fiction is real.  Anyway, the depictions of HPL, especially as a child, don't do anything for me, but the mythos critters are very well done and the story itself is pretty good."

27.  Graphic Classics: H. P. Lovecraft (2nd edition) (Graphic Classics (Eureka)) by H. P. Lovecraft

The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 TP
28.  The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 TP by Mac Carter
The list author says:

LORI LOVECRAFT Vol 1
29.  LORI LOVECRAFT Vol 1

35.  Necronauts by Gordon Rennie

The Dark Goodbye Volume 2

H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu
38.  H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu by Michael Zigerlig
The list author says:
  "Please note this is a brand new version of the classic story by Michael Zigerlig.  As I write this, the product blurb and the reviews are for a totally unrelated item by Garth Ennis.  CoC actually is a lovely book and worth getting."

No Man's Land Vol 2 (v. 2)
40.  No Man's Land Vol 2 (v. 2) by Jason DeAngelis
The list author says:
  "I think volume 2 dates from around 2006.  It was a well written, well drawn series so I don't know why Seaven Seas pulled the plug.  In volume 2 we learn more about the protagonist's background and clearly there was more than enough material to keep a series going."
