Les Mondes de Lovecraft

In 2008, French publisher Soleil launched Les Mondes de Lovecraft, an ambitious, ongoing comic series that adapts and expands the cosmic horror mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. Though the series began with a single issue, it has grown into a sprawling, multi-volume project, with each story exploring a different corner of the Cthulhu Mythos through the lens of European bande dessinée. The series is most associated with artists and writers like Christophe Bec, who helped establish its dense, atmospheric visual style, and it matters for bringing a fresh, Continental perspective to Lovecraft's work, emphasizing mood and dread over direct action.
